Description:
Add negation to list and exactlist filters
The list and exactlist filters allow you to specify a list of pages you want to see in a dump, but sometimes it's useful to be able to find all pages in a dump except for a specific list of pages. "grep -v" if you will.
Included is a simple patch that does this.
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

Indeed, that would be useful at times...
I'd be inclined to use --filter=exclude:blah instead of --filter=list:!blah though; '!' is annoying to type on a Unix command line since you have to be extra careful quoting it, so perhaps better not to expand use of it.

updated negate using different filter names rather than '!'
Good point. Is this any better?

Updated the patch to a the most recent revision (no changes)
I have updated the patch by Brian Foley to the most recent revision. I think it's need to be reviewed and then (hopefully) merged into the trunk. All credits go to Brian Foley.
Attached:
mwdumper is no more able to process dump generated since MediaWiki 1.31 (released in June 2018). The tool started in 2005 and is no more maintained, it is thus being archived, see T351228 for reference.
