TASK DESCRIPTION
**Feature summary** (what you would like to be able to do and where):
From time to time I would need a way to overwrite the pages with a common
prefix. There exist three scripts that go in this direction:
***add_text - writes new pages or adds at the bottom or top the text
***pagefromfile - with -force overwrites extisting file however does not work
together with pagegenerators (so an external way to find all affected pages and
feed them to the script is required)
***replace - could replace the whole page-text ('.*' 'abcdef' -summary:"test"
-regex -dotall) - however I doubt it is the efficient way
**Use case(s)** (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem,
and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not
describe only a solution):
- on Wikisource a list of existing subpages could be re-generated (using for
example a generic template or sth. like this)
**Benefits** (why should this be implemented?):
- rather low priority, however I found it quite annoying and inconsistent not
to be able to achieve it with the scritp pagefromfile or add_text
