As far as I understand, the existing special page reader methods do the
same, i. e. they read HTML. They belong to the Site object rather than to
the Page. But there is a terrible regex in them which I had to copy and
modify. I copied from the reader of another special page, but I could not
make the urlpath properly, so it is now a constant that points to huwiki. I
will upload it for those who are not looking for elegance in the scripts.
:-) It may be useful for others: looks for red (unexisting) categories in
user subpages, and puts them in 'nowiki', while sending a message to the
owner. This is useful because Special:WantedCategories is flooded with these
and people don't feel like correcting the others, if they have to choose
from so many redlinks.

I'm a very rough user of API's... so when I can't find what I search, I
simply go beck to the old system:* I read html*.... so I did when I needed
a list of WantedCategories.
I guess that this horrible confession will elicit some reaction, and the
solution you'll are searching for.
