I want to copy (not move) a few hundred pages from one namespace to another. Any ideas how?
I think I can do it in two stages - if I can create a page. I'd create each page with only the page name, then convert that to a transclusion from the mainspace article:
python replace.py -regex ".*" "{{subst:PAGENAME}}" -file:pagelist
python replace.py -regex ".*" "{{subst::\\1}}" -file:pagelist
But I get the error "Page [[blah blah]] not found" when I run the first command. I also tried with "" as the search string in the first line, but it's the same. And ideally I'd like it to exclude cases where the page already exists.
Any solution? Thanks!
