Summary: weblinkchecker.py docstring is incorrect

Initial Comment:
Running this command:

 python weblinkchecker.py

simply prints a usage message and exits. However, according to the usage message, it is supposed to "load all wiki pages in alphabetical order using the Special:Allpages feature".

No error message is printed.

"python weblinkchecker.py SomePageName" works fine.

Thanks. FYI, some of pywikipedia's scripts accept:

-start:!

while others like "Solve disambiguation.py" expect:

-start:

to mean "start at the beginning."  I suggest that you make this consistent
across the scripts.

Renaming that bug : I believe that the behavior is fine, but that the
docstring was erroneous.
Use -start:! if you need the old (wrongly documented) behavior :)
Fixed in r5358.
