It happens to me quite often that an existing page title on the Chinese Wikipedia cannot be found using Special:Export. My suspicion is that it happens when one specifies the page title using traditional characters. I'm reporting this because it causes trouble with the interwiki bot, which will falsely think that an interwiki link is going to a non-existing page
Only the real title works with Special:Export, not converted aliases.
No reason we don't want Special:Export to work with aliases, though, right? (Not that I'm volunteering to patch it.)
This is the PyWikipediaBot bug report which seems to depend on this one: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1731566&group_id=93107&atid=603138 [ 1731566 ] Incorrect removal of Chinese interwiki link
Mass compoment change: <some> -> Export/Import
