You are right Either the documentation or the implementation is wrong. I will try to find out what was really meant; maybe the compat release can give a hint.
Thanks for investigating.

The docs for BasePage.get() say:
pywikibot.exceptions.IsRedirectPageError – The page is a redirect. The argument of the exception is the title of the page it redirects to.
but that doesn't seem to be what's actually happening:
from pywikibot import Site, Page from pywikibot.exceptions import IsRedirectPageError
site = Site("en")
page = Page(site, "Template:shortdescription") try: print(page.get()) except IsRedirectPageError as ex: print(f"{ex.args=}")
prints
ex.args=(Page('Template:Shortdescription'),)
Am I just not understanding the doc correctly? _______________________________________________ pywikibot mailing list -- pywikibot@lists.wikimedia.org Public archives at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/pywikibot@lists.wikimedia.org/me...
