I wanted to modify pages that linked to a deleted image. Command:
replace.py -links
Links from which page should be processed? Fájl:PEGY22LOGO.jpg
etc.
Error:
NoPage: (wikipedia:hu, u'[[hu:F\xe1jl:PEGY22LOGO.jpg]]', 'Page does not exist.')
(wikipedia:hu, u'[[hu:F\xe1jl:PEGY22LOGO.jpg]]', 'Page does not exist.')
Well, page may not exist, but the task is still valid.
Tested in compat. I don't know how core reacts.
use -ref to get references to that (non existent) page. -links indicates links from that page to others, which indeed is not be able.
core doesn't fail for both. Try
pwb.py listpages -ref:"non existant page"
or
pwb.py listpages -links:"non existant page"
Sorry, you are right, I used the wrong option.
However, after undeleting page it listed tha other pages which refer to the deleted one.
I've checked it on compat too:
>>> import wikipedia as py
>>> s = py.getSite()
>>> p = py.Page(s, 'Non existent page on de-wiki')
>>> list(p.getReferences())
Getting references to [[Non existent page on de-wiki]] via API...
[]
>>> list(p.linkedPages())
Traceback (most recent call last):

>>>this indicates it does not fail for references but it fails for links which is right for an non-existant Page.
On the other hand core just gives an empty generator:
>>> import pwb, pywikibot as py >>> s = py.Site() >>> p = py.Page(s, 'Non existing page on de-wiki') >>> p.exists() False >>> list(p.backlinks()) [] >>> list(p.embeddedin()) [] >>> list(p.linkedPages()) [] >>>
