Hi,
I need to fix some links and i want to use a bot for this. I tried the ApiBot 0.4 but could not succeed with that. I faced a few issues, and do not know the solution yet. If anyone can provide me solution using any other bot framework then it is also ok for me.
Goal: I have a list of 100 pair of article titles and i want to replace the old title with a new one.
Issues faced with ApiBot: I tried the example and it works for a single pair, but the script never ends and edit the same page again and again. how can i stop this? how can i use this bot to fix my 100 pair of links?
thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response.
I tried to use the pywikipedia bot, but i am not trying on Wikipedia now and could not setup the bot, and that is why i did not mentioned it in my previous email.

Its fairly easy to setup on any wiki. Checkout https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/pywikibot/compat.git run generate_family_file.py http://linktoyoursite.com shortnameofsite run generate_user_files.py and select shortnameofsite
Then use replace.py Profit

Hi John,
Thanks, i have installed the pywikipedia. I tried the way mentioned in the documentation and it did not work for me. but your mentioned path was very helpful. why it is not included in the main documentation?
I need an another help. When i run the script replace.py it show the error "PageNotFound". Here the reason is the script is trying to get the page form a url like "MY_DOMAIN/wiki/PageName". But i am using default setting and my page url are like "MY_DOMAIN/index.php/PageName".
can you tell me where can i change this to make the scripts work.
