Well, probably I did not express myself well. The whole point of using the dump with replace.py is to rapidly filter the xml by replacements in order to speed up the process of replacing something with something else on the whole ns:0. Replace.py used to work in this way since at least 15 years. At the moment it's just listing any page within the dump even if these pages does not contain the word "meteorite" and it is a problem because in this way the use of a big dumps become pointless. I could do the same without the dump just executing something like python pwb.py replace.py -start:* -ns:0 -lang:it "meteorite" "" Moreover the message //No changes were necessary in [[page]]// should not be removed because it is useful. Thanks to it I'm aware that a page contained at the time of the dump something that triggered the replacements, but now it doesn't trig them anymore. I used this information in the past for a wide range of uses... understanding if someone else was fixing the same problem, testing if an improved version of a regex is still catching some pages, rapidly listing pages that I already fixed for a specific regex and many more.
