Summary: -enable arg to all scripts
Initial Comment:
It would be handy to have an optional -enable "Checkpage" option built into scripts by default - so that a bot can deactivated by non-admins, if so needed.

That doesn't tell me anything about what it should do. What is 'checkpage'?
What should the bot do with it? When? What should it do in which case?

A simple boolean value - if the arg is used, read checkpage - if 'true',
continue script - if false, stop and exit script.
I know some of the scripts have a "enablePage" - but a lot of them don't.

What is the behaviour you would want/expect when 'Checkpage' is enabled?
