The help of replace.py says that it will work on all pages found with a search. As far as I see, this is not the truth -- in two cases listed it exactly 100 titles to work on, while there were more than 100. (I also used -namespace:0 in command line.)
Pagegenerators.py has: def SearchPageGenerator(query, *number = 100*, namespaces = None, site = None): but no possibility to pass a different number from command line. Please enhance it with a number parameter.

First, you must specify -regex in the command if you want "\n" to mean a newline instead of literal \n. Second, "-cat:Dumpers" is not correct, use -cat:"Dumpers" or simply -cat:Dumpers instead, if you want to work with this category. ("" is only necessary if your category name has a space.)

And it is likely that once you have specified -regex, you have to type | instead of |, because | has a special meaning in regexes.

What does it mean "didn’t work at all"? What have you seen on the screen? Are you sure those are really empty, and no space in them?
By the way, now I remember, that earlier I had problems, too, when I wanted to substitute a newline (searching works well).

Try using \r\n for finding the newline, so someting like "|\r\n|-" "|Yes\n|-"
