mw wiki page list

mw wiki page list [flags]

List pages from one source or compose repeatable –select SOURCE:VALUE operands with –combine union/intersection. Composition reads complete operands before namespace/grep filtering and the final distinct-page limit. –depth follows subcategories breadth-first (0: direct members); –max-categories aborts traversal without partial output. Order is first-seen for union and first-operand order for intersection. Single sources: all pages (the default), search, category members, backlinks, transclusions, or a plain title file. Pagination and deduplication are shared across sources. Missing or invalid file titles are skipped. –namespace filters results and –limit counts distinct matching pages (0 is unlimited). The default output remains one title per line. No pages are edited.

Pywikibot compatibility: –pywikibot accepts only -search:QUERY, -cat:TITLE, -ref:TITLE (-backlinks is a local alias), -transcludes:TITLE, -namespace:ID and -limit:N. One source and one numeric namespace only; 0 means unlimited. Recursive categories, category start markers, script execution and other Pywikibot flags are unsupported. Prefer the canonical –search/–category/–backlinks/–transclusions flags.
