Thanks Merlijn,
Not sure if it's an effective way to search those pages, but what you need
is a new script that does something like (not tested,
but to give an idea)
import wikipedia, pagegenerators
for page in pagegenerators.allpagesgenerator():
if '{|' in page.get():
print page.title
Please remember this is very slow and bandwidth-consuming. Running this on
an XML dump seems like a better way. Would it be problematic to have
slightly outdated information?
That's fine - actually, I'd definitely do it on a dump.
I'm not a coder, and not sure how I'd adapt this code to use with the xml
dump. But I copied it into a file and call it "searchtest.py" to try it out,
and got this error message:
$ python searchtest.py
Checked for running processes. 1 processes currently running, including the
current process.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "searchtest.py", line 2, in <module>
for page in pagegenerators.allpagesgenerator():
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'allpagesgenerator'
Any suggestions? Sorry I'm not doing much to help - I only ever learnt a
little Fortran and C, 18+ years ago, and hacked a little Visual Basic a few
years back.
Thanks again,
Chris
Best regards,
Merlijn van Deen

Hi,
I want to list all pages in our wiki that use tables. This seems like it
should be simple, but I'm not sure how to do it. Any ideas?
I know that "{|" (the beginning of a table) works as a search term, as I
tried it with replace.py. However, I don't want to replace anything, and
I
don't want to sit there pressing
"n" for each result.
Ideally I could capture just the names of the pages, without extended
details (such as a proposed diff given by replace.py).
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers
