Subject: interwiki.py -untranslatedonly -number:nn not intuitive
Original description:
interwiki.py -untranslatedonly -number:nn -confirm
acts counterinuitively. I expect the be asked for nn groups of page hints, and
that nn pages may be altered.
In fact, nn pages are being checked, and only those among them which match the
-untranslatedonly criterion, are possibly altered. Only for those, hints are
being asked from me. Their number is usually far less than nn, and may be even
zero. I have to know, or guess, how many "-untranslatedonly" pages there are in
a selection, given e.g. by -cat:cc, or -link:ll, etc., and how these are
distributed, so as to find a decent value for nn, to avoid unneccessary loading
of pages \(if I choose nn too high\) or a too short session \(if I choose nn
too low\) which due to reprocessing the same call with a larger nn, again
creates an unneccessary burden on the servers.
What I want with -untranslatedonly -number:nn -confirm, is to process exactly
nn pages. I want to be asked about less pages only, if my selection has been
exhausted before nn pages have been processed.
