Description MZMcBride 2013-04-11 20:41:22 UTC 
Looking at <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual>, I don't see a way currently to generate a list of pages based on prefix. For example, I wanted to write a module that would take each page listed at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/Global_message_delivery/Targets/> and generate output based on iterating over this generated list.

Rather than using a generated list, I was forced to specify each page title. This isn't great, as pages may be added or deleted and I don't want to update such a list by hand.

An equivalent to [[Special:PrefixIndex]] (or the MediaWiki API's list=allpages&apprefix=) inside Scribunto/Lua would be wonderful.

I've provided an iterator solution, but it has the same limitations as
the prefixindex special page:

https//meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Module:Subpages

I think an equivalent to the MediaWiki API's list=allpages&apprefix=
in iterator form inside Scribunto/Lua would be better though.

Correct URL: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Module:Subpages
