pagegenerators — Page Generators#
This module offers a wide variety of page generators.
A page generator is an object that is iterable (see PEP 255) and that yields page objects on which other scripts can then work.
Most of these functions just wrap a Site or Page method that returns a generator. For testing purposes listpages.py can be used, to print page titles to standard output.
These parameters are supported to specify which pages titles to print:
GENERATOR OPTIONS#
- -cat
Work on all pages which are in a specific category. Argument can also be given as “-cat:categoryname” or as “-cat:categoryname|fromtitle” (using # instead of | is also allowed in this one and the following)
- -catr
Like -cat, but also recursively includes pages in subcategories, sub-subcategories etc. of the given category. Argument can also be given as “-catr:categoryname” or as “-catr:categoryname|fromtitle”.
- -subcats
Work on all subcategories of a specific category. Argument can also be given as “-subcats:categoryname” or as “-subcats:categoryname|fromtitle”.
- -subcatsr
Like -subcats, but also includes sub-subcategories etc. of the given category. Argument can also be given as “-subcatsr:categoryname” or as “-subcatsr:categoryname|fromtitle”.
- -uncat
Work on all pages which are not categorised.
- -uncatcat
Work on all categories which are not categorised.
- -uncatfiles
Work on all files which are not categorised.
- -file
Read a list of pages to treat from the named text file. Page titles in the file may be either enclosed with [[brackets]], or be separated by new lines. Argument can also be given as “-file:filename”.
- -filelinks
Work on all pages that use a certain image/media file. Argument can also be given as “-filelinks:filename”.
- -search
Work on all pages that are found in a MediaWiki search across all namespaces.
- -logevents
Work on articles that were on a specified Special:Log. The value may be a comma separated list of these values:
logevent,username,start,end
or for backward compatibility:
logevent,username,total
Note
‘start’ is the most recent date and log events are iterated from present to past. If ‘start’ is not provided, it means ‘now’; if ‘end’ is not provided, it means ‘since the beginning’.
To use the default value, use an empty string. You have options for every type of logs given by the log event parameter which could be one of the following:
spamblacklist, titleblacklist, gblblock, renameuser, globalauth, gblrights, gblrename, abusefilter, massmessage, thanks, usermerge, block, protect, rights, delete, upload, move, import, patrol, merge, suppress, tag, managetags, contentmodel, review, stable, timedmediahandler, newusers
It uses the default number of pages 10.
Examples:
-logevents:move gives pages from move log (usually redirects) -logevents:delete,,20 gives 20 pages from deletion log -logevents:protect,Usr gives pages from protect log by user Usr -logevents:patrol,Usr,20 gives 20 patrolled pages by Usr -logevents:upload,,20121231,20100101 gives upload pages in the 2010s, 2011s, and 2012s -logevents:review,,20121231 gives review pages since the beginning till the 31 Dec 2012 -logevents:review,Usr,20121231 gives review pages by user Usr since the beginning till the 31 Dec 2012
In some cases it must be given as -logevents:”move,Usr,20”
- -interwiki

FILTER OPTIONS#
- -catfilter
Filter the page generator to only yield pages in the specified category. See -cat generator for argument format.
- -grep
A regular expression that needs to match the article otherwise the page won’t be returned. Multiple -grep:regexpr can be provided and the page will be returned if content is matched by any of the regexpr provided. Case insensitive regular expressions will be used and dot matches any character, including a newline.
- -grepnot
Like -grep, but return the page only if the regular expression does not match.
- -intersect
Work on the intersection of all the provided generators.
- -limit
When used with any other argument
-limit:nspecifies a set of pages, work on no more than n pages in total. If used with multiple generators, pages are yielded in a roundrobin way.- -namespaces
Filter the page generator to only yield pages in the
- -namespace
specified namespaces. Separate multiple namespace
- -ns
numbers or names with commas.
Examples:
-ns:0,2,4 -ns:Help,MediaWiki
You may use a preleading “not” to exclude the namespace.
Examples:
-ns:not:2,3 -ns:not:Help,File
If used with -newpages/-random/-randomredirect/-linter generators, -namespace/ns must be provided before -newpages/-random/-randomredirect/-linter. If used with -recentchanges generator, efficiency is improved if -namespace is provided before -recentchanges.
If used with -start generator, -namespace/ns shall contain only one value.
- -onlyif
A claim the page needs to contain, otherwise the item won’t be returned. The format is property=value,qualifier=value. Multiple (or none) qualifiers can be passed, separated by commas.
Examples:
P1=Q2 (property P1 must contain value Q2), P3=Q4,P5=Q6,P6=Q7 (property P3 with value Q4 and qualifiers: P5 with value Q6 and P6 with value Q7).
Value can be page ID, coordinate in format: latitude,longitude[,precision] (all values are in decimal degrees), year, or plain string.
The argument can be provided multiple times and the item page will be returned only if all claims are present. Argument can be also given as “-onlyif:expression”.
- -onlyifnot
A claim the page must not contain, otherwise the item won’t be returned. For usage and examples, see
-onlyifabove.- -ql
Filter pages based on page quality. This is only applicable if contentmodel equals ‘proofread-page’, otherwise has no effects. Valid values are in range 0-4. Multiple values can be comma-separated.
- -subpage
-subpage:n filters pages to only those that have depth n i.e. a depth of 0 filters out all pages that are subpages, and a depth of 1 filters out all pages that are subpages of subpages.
- -titleregex
A regular expression that needs to match the article title otherwise the page won’t be returned. Multiple -titleregex:regexpr can be provided and the page will be returned if title is matched by any of the regexpr provided. Case insensitive regular expressions will be used and dot matches any character.
- -titleregexnot
Like -titleregex, but return the page only if the regular expression does not match.

limitoption is set and multiple generators are given, pages are yieded in aroundrobinway.
- handle_arg(arg)[source]#
Parse one argument at a time.
If it is recognized as an argument that specifies a generator, a generator is created and added to the accumulation list, and the function returns true. Otherwise, it returns false, so that caller can try parsing the argument. Call getCombinedGenerator() after all arguments have been parsed to get the final output generator.
New in version 6.0: renamed from
handleArg- Parameters:

- Parameters:
args (Iterable[str]) –
- Return type:
List[str]
- is_preloading: bool | None#
Return whether Page objects are preloaded. You may use this instance variable after
getCombinedGenerator()is called e.g.:gen_factory = GeneratorFactory() print(gen_factory.is_preloading) # None gen = gen_factory.getCombinedGenerator() print(gen_factory.is_preloading) # True or False
Otherwise the value is undefined and gives None.

- property namespaces: FrozenSet[Namespace]#
List of Namespace parameters.
Converts int or string namespaces to Namespace objects and change the storage to immutable once it has been accessed.
The resolving and validation of namespace command line arguments is performed in this method, as it depends on the site property which is lazy loaded to avoid being cached before the global arguments are handled.
- Returns:
namespaces selected using arguments
- Raises:
KeyError – a namespace identifier was not resolved
TypeError – a namespace identifier has an inappropriate type such as NoneType or bool
- property site: BaseSite#
Generator site.
The generator site should not be accessed until after the global arguments have been handled, otherwise the default Site may be changed by global arguments, which will cause this cached value to be stale.
- Returns:
Site given to initializer, otherwise the default Site at the time this property is first accessed.
- class pagegenerators.GoogleSearchPageGenerator(query=None, site=None)[source]#

Don’t access [Google Services] using a method other than the interface and the instructions that [they] provide.
Don’t remove, obscure, or alter any legal notices displayed in or along with [Google] Services.
Both of those issues should be managed by the package ‘google’, however Pywikibot will at least ensure the user sees the TOS in order to comply with the second condition.
