            Bug ID: 73085
           Summary: states_redirect should not create redirects for every
                    matching title
           Product: Pywikibot
           Version: core (2.0)
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Other scripts
          Assignee: [email protected]

e.g. Elections_in_Dakota,_Maine is not a title that should have a redirect
Elections_in_Dakota,_ME as that type of redirect isnt likely to be a direct
data entry, and it clutters the search results / suggestions lists.

The script currently does create any article which has a state suffix, as that
is what the compat us-states.py script did.

https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elections_in_Dakota,_ME&redirect=no

If the script used pagegenerators, it would probably be possible to filter out
undesirable titles to be created, or maybe that depends on bug 54537.
