Hi Strainu,

The _address functions are not used in core -- those were the 'pages to be screen scraped' in compat.

However, adding missing (useful) functionality would be great. I'm not sure if a list exists, though. One example is the work by Allen in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/100363/, but there might be others.

Otherwise, these are some scripts that might be nice to have ported, and that do not seem unreasonably hard:

https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/revertbot.py

https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/create_categories.py

https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/disambredir.py

https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/pagefromfile.py

https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/makecat.py

https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/commons_link.py

https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/catall.py

https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/lonelypages.py (not sure if this is still useful - there might be a toolserver tool for this?)

https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/imagetransfer.py

https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/spamremove.py

These are harder, but also more useful:

https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/archivebot.py

https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/weblinkchecker.py

https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/HEAD/casechecker.py

Could we make tasks for those?

Hi,

Should I log a task for porting from compat to core all functions not
implemented in site.py (like ancientpages_address)?

I see a comment saying "unsupported methods from version 1" and it's
unclear to me if these are useless or just not implemented.

Thanks,
Strainu
