If a specified page is a redirect page, work on its target page. -intersecting Argument to be used between two other arguments. Work only on pages normally specified by both the previous and the next argument. -excluding Argument to be used between two other arguments. Work only on pages normally specified by the previous argument but not by the next argument. For example, one could want to find the pages edited by a specific user that contain a certain keyword in a title. A few other suggestions: Exclude sections, even on files. Compare pages via the Page.\_\_cmp\_\_ property to exclude duplicate pages instead of u"%s:%s:%s" % (page._site.family.name, page._site.lang, page._title). (more transparent and easier to maintain).

Patch does not apply cleanly to either core or compat
excluding would be very helpful to workaround bugs, where one page is causing a problem, such as bug 69133.
Patch is by Andreas, if I am understanding the old sf.net history correctly. Mpaa is creating 'intersecting' with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/170832/
