Well, probably I did not express myself well.
The whole point of using the dump with replace.py is to rapidly filter the
xml by replacements in order to speed up the process of replacing something
with something else on the whole ns:0. Replace.py used to work in this way
since at least 15 years.
At the moment it's just listing any page within the dump even if these pages
does not contain the word "meteorite" and it is a problem because in this way
the use of a big dumps become pointless. I could do the same without the dump
just executing something like
python pwb.py replace.py -start:* -ns:0 -lang:it "meteorite" ""
Moreover the message //No changes were necessary in [[page]]// should not be
removed because it is useful. Thanks to it I'm aware that a page contained at
the time of the dump something that triggered the replacements, but now it
doesn't trig them anymore. I used this information in the past for a wide range
of uses... understanding if someone else was fixing the same problem, testing
if an improved version of a regex is still catching some pages, rapidly listing
pages that I already fixed for a specific regex and many more.
