Category: General Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: redirect.py fails to gracefully handle protected pages
Initial Comment: Apparently, when redirect.py encounters a broken redirect which it can't edit, it stops processing further entries on the list. For background, see:

The code should be fixed to gracefully skip such pages, as apparently some other parts of pywikipedia already do.
(It would also be nice if redirect.py could be restricted to only process pages in certain namespaces, but that's for another bug entry.)
