[Pywikipedia-l] Means to generate a list of pages with redlinks - pywikibot

8 Sep 2014

For English Wikisource, I have a series of 63 volumes of the "Dictionary of
National Biography" that have now been transcribed. These works have many
internal cross reference links, which we have been generating, however, in
the 16 years that the volumes were originally constructed, some of the
articles that were planned to be written were not, so they have ended up
being red links. I wish to identify these red links

I am trying work out how to use pywikibot to generate a list of the pages
with red links. To get a list of pages to feed through is easy, as each
page is linked to an index page per volume, so it would be a namespace
collection from a central page, all based around {{PAGENAME}}.

Thanks for any help provided.
