Hi Strainu,

The _address functions are not used in core -- those were the 'pages to be
screen scraped' in compat.

However, adding missing (useful) functionality would be great. I'm not sure
if a list exists, though. One example is the work by Allen in
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/100363/, but there might be others.

Otherwise, these are some scripts that might be nice to have ported, and
that do not seem unreasonably hard:

https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/revertbot.py
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/create_categories.py
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/disambredir.py
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/pagefromfile.py
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/makecat.py
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/commons_link.py
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/catall.py
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/lonelypages.py (not
sure if this is still useful - there might be a toolserver tool for this?)
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/imagetransfer.py
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/spamremove.py

These are harder, but also more useful:
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/archivebot.py
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/weblinkchecker.py
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/casechecker.py


Could we make tasks for those?
