Bug ID: 69133 Summary: unusedfiles raises NoPage for redirect to deleted file Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: Unprioritized Component: General Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: jayvdb@gmail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---

The first item on [[Special:UnusedFiles]] is currently [[File:Song_of_the_Thin_Man_(videocassette_cover_art).jpg]], which is deleted, however it has an incoming redirect which might be why it is still in unusedfiles, or perhaps a caching issue.

This causes unusedfiles to raise an exception, and there is no way to bypass it as the script only uses special:unusedfiles as a generator.
