Run touch.py with default parameters using the following command:
python pwb.py touch.py -lang:ar -cat:"تحويلات متصلة بعنصر ويكي بيانات"
(In this case, it will run on this category: ar:تصنيف:تحويلات متصلة بعنصر ويكي بيانات)
Actual Results:
The script crashes with the following traceback:
python pwb.py touch.py -lang:ar -cat:"تحويلات متصلة بعنصر ويكي بيانات"

Running the with the following command works as expected:
python pwb.py touch.py -purge -lang:ar -cat:"تحويلات متصلة بعنصر ويكي بيانات"
So, the issue is only when running the script without the
-purge
Expected Results:
- The script should not crash when run with default parameters.
- If the intention of the developers is to force the users to always use -purge, then in this case the script should give a Too few input arguments error or something like that, but I don't believe that crashing the script is the correct behavior here. Thank you.
