Pages to sync
 

Specify specific page titles to sync:

  • *:Main_Page: means sync all Main_Pages in all wikis
  • *: is a wildcard and means sync all pages in all wikis
  • Individual pages can be specified on each line.

For example, the following would only auto-synchronize two pages: the Main_Page and Earth in English Wikipedia:

en.w:Main_Page
en.w:Earth

Note that all lines must be separated by a UNIX line ending (ASCII 10) not a Windows line ending (ASCII 13 + ASCII 10)
