It could be added as argument to page.get\(..., preload = False\) and used to return data\['query'\]\['pages'\]\["-1"\]\['preload'\] with something like: if data\['query'\]\['pages'\].keys\(\)\[0\] == "-1": if 'missing' in pageInfo: if preload: .... That would be useful when trying to get text in still not created page. This kind of pages are quite common on en:Wikisource, due text layer being already present in used djvu files. E.g. \[Page:Debates in the Several State Conventions, v1.djvu/189\]. Thanks and bye -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
