I have idea that we should add option for adding custom text before the list. It will be good so users can know what is list about.
Example:
In this list are articles with ref tags but have {{unreferenced}}.
* Article1
* Article2
* Article3Description
Description
Details
Details
| Subject | Repo | Branch | Lines +/- | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adding Description about the Lists | pywikibot/core | master | +25 -2 | |
| Allow defining custom prefix/suffix in listpages | pywikibot/core | master | +17 -0 |

@Dvorapa Yes, T205200: Implement options in category.py when using listify action to append and prepend content in existing page is like this but listpages.py is another script.

@Dvorapa I've a couple of getting started questions related to this task. Should the code changes take place in the script file core/scripts/listpages.py in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/projects/pywikibot/core? Should the main() function be expanded to handle an additional argument related to custom text? Please share any other tips for getting started on this task.

Both yes and yes! The script provides many parameters, so inspired by those adding another one should be an easy step. A newcomer then have to find a place where adding the prologue would be appropriate.

I think we can have both, text before and text after the list probably with options -pre and -post or something like that.

@Shashikantsingh7 Patch is abandoned by @Xqt with reason: "not an appropriate implementation" (see T246549#6574133), so new one should be uploaded.

@Shashikantsingh7: Hi! This task has been assigned to you a while ago. Could you maybe share an update? Do you still plan to work on this task, or do you need any help?

@Shashikantsingh7: I am resetting the assignee of this task because there has not been progress lately (please correct me if I am wrong!). Resetting the assignee avoids the impression that somebody is already working on this task. It also allows others to potentially work towards fixing this task. Please claim this task again when you plan to work on it (via Add Action... → Assign / Claim in the dropdown menu). Thanks for your understanding.
