Is it possible for Pywikipediabot to access the number of editors of a certain page? Or at least, whether there has been more than one editor? If not, is there another tool I can use to create a list of pages on a wiki with only one editor?
The best option for things like this is to use a database query. However, I'm not sure if you are able to run them for appropedia. The query would be something like
select page_namespace, page_title, count(distinct(rev_user)) as cnt from revision left join page on page_id=rev_page group by page_namespace, page_title having cnt=1 limit 1;
Pywikipedia can tell you what the count is for a /specific/ page (as Bináris showed), but is unable to run such queries. The advantage of SQL queries is that you could even do this more specifically, for instance by listing only pages in user_talk that have at least one external link on them.
Last but not least; if all the links spam to one domain, you can consider using Special:LinkSearch instead. I'm not quite sure if pwb allows you to use such a list directly.
