TASK DESCRIPTION The scripts in the repository should be checked and instead of just printing the help it should show a meaningful message. I'd actually say the help message shouldn't be shown as it's very long for many scripts (because of the pagegenerator help) and thus will the error message easily overlooked.

For example when someone is using replace and forgot to define the generator they just get the help message and it's not obvious what has gone wrong.
