[Pywikipedia-l] Encoding problem with Hungarian characters
by Bináris 05 Feb '08

05 Feb '08

Hi, I am new to the list, I work on huwiki and have the following problem: When I write te command solve_disambiguation.py -just -pos:"39-es főút" "39-es számú főút" the bot keeps answering: Possibility 39-es fńút does not actually exist. Use it anyway? ([y]es, [N]o) Getting references to [[39-es számú fńút]] Found 0 references. Note that ő has become ń. What can I do? Ő is a Hungarian letter, and I really-really need it. :-) Bináris

If it does, then simply carry on with the rest of the links to be checked; if not, if the Archive *does* have something backed up, then take some boilerplate like "The preceding URL appeared to be invalid to weblinkchecker.py; however, backups of the URL can be found in the [[Internet Archive]] $HERE.
