Hi,
I was just thinking about renaming articles in the way we change text by replace.py. I use replace.py for correcting spelling errors. They may appear as well in titles. Is there a way to correct misspelled titles using the flexibility and robustness of replace.py and fixes.py?
I can use them to search such articles without renaming, if I replace space to anything and write the regex to 'require-title' exception list, but it only allows one regex (being the listed expressions in AND relation), which is not really comfortable.
This feature is not supported as of today. I made an attempt some time ago, but I am abandoning it now: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/182444/
Feel free to take over.

It's pretty easy to write a bit of python around page.move(newtitle, comment) and have that ready to call from a commandline. That's how I do mass file renames on the fly.
My script is for compat and is too nasty to share publicly but as it works I don't want to invest time making it pretty. I can send it to you, if you want to hack it down and use it as the basis of something to put on github.
