Hi Strainu,
The _address functions are not used in core -- those were the 'pages to be screen scraped' in compat.
However, adding missing (useful) functionality would be great. I'm not sure if a list exists, though. One example is the work by Allen in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/100363/, but there might be others.
Otherwise, these are some scripts that might be nice to have ported, and that do not seem unreasonably hard:
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/revertbot.py https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/create_categories... https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/disambredir.py https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/pagefromfile.py https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/makecat.py https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/commons_link.py https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/catall.py https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/lonelypages.py (not sure if this is still useful - there might be a toolserver tool for this?) https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/imagetransfer.py https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/spamremove.py
These are harder, but also more useful: https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/archivebot.py https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/weblinkchecker.py https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/casechecker.py
Could we make tasks for those?

Hi,
Should I log a task for porting from compat to core all functions not implemented in site.py (like ancientpages_address)?
I see a comment saying "unsupported methods from version 1" and it's unclear to me if these are useless or just not implemented.
Thanks, Strainu
