I was trying to go over all the pages in the category namespace, I couldn't get -namespace:14 or -namespace:Category, -namespace:Category:'!' or -namespace:Flokkur (this was on iswiki) to work. I ended up running it as `python interwiki.py -autonomous -skipauto -namespace:14 -continue' with the following hack, this seems to be working but is there a proper way to do this?
