Get language links for all pages edit
Iterate through wiki pages (possibly with additional filters), and for each page get all listed languagelinks.
query&generator=allpages&gapfrom=T&prop=langlinks
- API langlinks limits could make result incomplete for any page without any notification, making batch processing much more difficult - client needs to do more querycontinue calls to know there are no more langlinks for the specific page.

Get language links for a set of pages edit
For a user-supplied list of titles, resolve redirects and get their language links.
query&prop=langlinks&titles=T|TT&redirects

# Please write the proper code snippet here
Get non-resolved links and categories for a set of redirected pages edit
For each page in a set, if redirect, resolve to the redirect target, and get all links and all categories listed. Only link's namespace+title is needed.
query&prop=links|categories&titles=Archiver|Abstract%20(law)&pllimit=300&redirects

Page generator -> get links and categories edit
From all pages in a wiki (possibly filtered), get all links and all categories listed. Only link's namespace+title is needed. Result pages (not links) might need to be edited.
query&generator=allpages&gapfrom=T&prop=links|categories

# Please write the proper code snippet here
Modify a page edit
Given a page title, get the page content (if redirect, get the target), change and save it.
query&titles=Think&redirects&prop=revisions&rvprop=content edit&summary=...&text=...&token=...
- Pywikibot
# This sample does not resolve redirects. Need more feedback.
page = pywikibot.Page(pywikibot.Site('en'), 'Think')
oldcontent = page.get()
newcontent = oldcontent.replace('this', 'that')
page.put(newcontent, 'Bot: Edit')
