Hello again!
Sorry for asking this again, but what about this feature request? It would be very helpful for my bot, since with this I could force the PreloadingGenerator to drop irrelevant pages BEFORE preloading! Speed-up and less traffic/load for mediawiki servers (and my bot on the tool- server ;))
Greetings and Thanks a lot! DrTrigon

Hello all
I'd like to suggest the code change given by the attached patch.
The idea is to change RegexFilterPageGenerator a little bit. First change the 'regex' param to a list of regex(es) instead of 1 single. The whole list of regex will be checked for a positive match. The second change involves a new parameter 'invert' which, if set to True changes the generator from returning pages on ANY POSITIVE match to return page on NO POSITIVE match AT ALL. This way a positive (additive) and negative (subtractive) filter behaviour can be achieved.
This would also be very helpful for my bot... ;)
Thanks a lot and greetings DrTrigon
