The first item on [[Special:UnusedFiles]] is currently [[File:Song_of_the_Thin_Man_(videocassette_cover_art).jpg]], which is deleted, however it has an incoming redirect which might be why it is still in unusedfiles, or perhaps a caching issue. This causes unusedfiles to raise an exception, and there is no way to bypass it as the script only uses special:unusedfiles as a generator. $ python pwb.py scripts/unusedfiles.py Retrieving 50 pages from wikipedia:en. WARNING: Http response status 404 >>> File:Song of the Thin Man (videocassette cover art).jpg <<< Traceback (most recent call last): File "pwb.py", line 166, in <module> run_python_file(fn, argv, argvu) File "pwb.py", line 67, in run_python_file exec(compile(source, filename, "exec"), main_mod.__dict__) File "scripts/unusedfiles.py", line 117, in <module> main() File "scripts/unusedfiles.py", line 108, in main appendtext(image, u"\n\n" + template_image, always) File "scripts/unusedfiles.py", line 58, in appendtext raise pywikibot.NoPage(u"Page '%s' does not exist" % page.title()) pywikibot.exceptions.NoPage: Page Page 'File:Song of the Thin Man (videocassette cover art).jpg' does not exist doesn't exist. <class 'pywikibot.exceptions.NoPage'>
Change 151812 had a related patch set uploaded by John Vandenberg: unusedfiles raises NoPage for deleted file https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/151812
The 404 is because unusedfiles calls image.getImagePageHtml(), which does GET https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3ASong_of_the_Thin_Man_%28videocassette_cover_art%29.jpg
bug 10153 suggests that deleted files were not included in the results, so this is probably a regression in mw.
