Bug ID: 66358 Summary: add generators for delinker Product: Pywikibot Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: Unprioritized Component: delinker Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: rubin.happy@gmail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---

At the moment delinker works only on the log of recent files deletions but unlinking of non-existent files from the particular category or particular set of articles would be also useful.

For example, we have [[:File:Tested.jpg]] that was never uploaded and was added by editor due to mistake: afterwards we get an article with non-existent file and there is no way of automatical unlinking such images. At the moment, we have ~4000 articles with such non-existent files in Russian Wikipedia.

I see two ways of solving the problem: 1) delinker's work on a set of non-existent files (that could be retrieved from Special:Wanted Files) 2) delinker's work on the list of articles where bot unlinks all non-existent files
