I'd like to get all the redirect pages out of a wiki, but pwb.py listpages -start:UK -grep:'#REDIRECT' -format:"{page.title}" -get produces nothing, but pwb.py listpages -start:UK -grep:'United Kingdom' -format:"{page.title}" -get produces, as expected UK #REDIRECT [[United Kingdom]] pwb.py listpages -start:UK -grep:'#' -format:"{page.title}" -get picks up pages with a # in them, but not any of the #REDIRECTs why isn't -grep just parsing the page fully?
