I need to move a bunch of pages, removing the last part of the title.

(Detail: I've edited the XML file of imported pages, to add "(from Wikipedia)" on the end of each article's name. This helps avoid clashes between articles of the same name in the imported pages and the existing wiki pages. By leaving the redirects in place, it helps avoid importing each article more than once, when I import more groups of pages in future.)

Now, I can use a spreadsheet to make up a list of commands, one line for each page, of the form:

python movepages.py -from:"foo (from Wikipedia)" -to:"foo" "file:pagelist.txt"

and that will work...but is there a more efficient way of renaming these pages?

Thanks!
