RecentChangesPageGenerator takes a few arguments like showMinor, showAnon, ... that are supposed to be boolean. However, they all have a default value of None, but the documentation only covers the case where they're either True or False. (The same is true for the recentchanges method in site.py that the generator uses.)
In this case if the parameter is None, it doesn't specify a preference, so it uses the API default, which can be seen at [[mw:API:Recentchanges]]
That page doesn't tell me if '!minor' or 'minor' is the default either.
Ah, sorry, that page does actually make it more clear that the default is 'just list all edits'.
Hrm. Then we still have an issue, as showMinor=True does not imply *only* minor edits are shown, which is what passing 'minor' to the API means.
showMinor=True shows *only* minor edits. Docstring looks OK to me: @param showMinor: if True, only list minor edits; if False (and not None), only list non-minor edits To be really picky, it should be specified that None shows all ... Anyhow, I added to Pagegenerators additional args present in site.recentchanges() and updated doc string.
