TASK DESCRIPTION
**Feature summary** (what you would like to be able to do and where):
There exist allready the filters (EdittimeFilterPageGenerator,
UserEditFilterGenerator) however they cannot be accesed by the standard
scripts. I think there are real scenarios when this feature could be useful.
**Use case(s)** (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem,
and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not
describe only a solution):
Let's assume that on a number of pages (the list preloaded by an existing
generator e.g. -cat or -prefixindex) following changes should be made: {{A}} →
{{B}}, {{B}} → {{C}}.
If for some reason the whole process stops (blackout?), we have an
inconsistent state that requires either a roll back of allready made changes or
some handwork.
**Benefits** (why should this be implemented?):
Even if this feature would not be often used I think it is convenient to have
it as a kind of bailout in such cases. The bot could simply skip the edits made
so far.
