I see there no inconsistency, because list=allpages lists > all defined pagetitles. The one are defined by a exists page, the other by a > protection. (The next step is the "WantedPages", because the pagetitle is > defined by a link.) The WantedPage query is quite expensive, and probably won't be accepted into the API for performance reasons. > I hope the bug can realize in any way. > I'll think about this over the holidays; I won't be able to do much until January. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
