Status: Pending

Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Yevhen Movsesov () Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: add_text don't creates the page if the page doesn't exist

Initial Comment: 1. Try to add some string to page, that currently doesn't exist, for example add_text.py -page:Inexistent_page -text:"test string" Page will not be created.

2. It seems, that in add_text.py on line 430 should be "create=True" instead "create=talkPage"

Message: I agree with valhallasw's resolution: it's not a bug, maybe a feature request. I guess add_text is able to create a new talk page if it doesn't exist. But I also do not see any reason to change this behavior for other pages too and intend this request may to be closed.

Message: I see no reason to assume it should create new pages. It's add_text, after all. If you want to create new pages, you can use the classes offered by add_text.py.

To clarify my last note: don't assign stuff to people unless they ask you to or if they are the only one in the world who knows how the stuff works.
