[Pywikipedia-l] skip to next occurrence in a page?
by Chris Watkins 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

I'm using replace.py to create wikilinks. Usually I want to select only the first occurrence of the search string, and my command works fine for this. But sometimes, the first hit is not suitable (e.g. it's part of a book or course title, so I don't want to add the wikilink). If I choose n for no, the bot goes to the next page. Is there a way I can skip to the next occurrence in the same page? I'm guessing it will need a modified version of replace.py, so that it gives an extra option besides ([y]es, [N]o, [e]dit, open in [b]rowser, [a]ll, [q]uit) The actual command I'm using is: python replace.py -regex "(?si)\b((?:FOO1|FOO2))\b(.*$) " "[[\\1]]\\2" -exceptinsidetag:link -exceptinsidetag:hyperlink -exceptinsidetag:header -exceptinsidetag:nowiki -exceptinsidetag:ref -excepttext:"(?si)\[\[((?:FOO1|FOO2)[\|\]])" -namespace:0 -namespace:102 -namespace:4 -summary:"[[Appropedia:Wikilink bot]] adding double square brackets to: FOO1|FOO2." -log -xml:currentdump.xml Many thanks! -- Chris Watkins Appropedia.org - Sharing knowledge to build rich, sustainable lives. blogs.appropedia.org identi.ca/appropedia twitter.com/appropedia

[Pywikipedia-l] Need help with page histories
by Bináris 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Hi, I have modified the get.py modul of the pywikibot. The purpose is to display the date of creation of the article. I guessed from wikipedia.py that I need either page.getVersionHistory(), which is a list, or page.getVersionHistoryTable(), which gives the history as a wikitable. Now it seems to work, but sometimes it gives back a shorter page history, than the real one, and, unfortunately, sometimes both methods give an empty page history, and thus en error in the program flow. Here are some concerned pages: [[hu:Ehrenfeld Samu]] (http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehrenfeld_Saul) and [[hu:TCSEC]] (http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCSEC) seems to have a completely empty page history, which is not true and results in an error. (Theoretically, no article could exist with an empty history.) [[hu:Mark VII]] (http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_VII) displays only one line, just as it had a single-edit history. Where is the mistake? I attach proba.py which is the modified version of get.py. I hope you will not take my head for that, it's very small. :-) The Hungarian comments are not relevant, the essence is written here. An article can be given as a command line parameter. Thanks! -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] A new script
by Lukasz Bolikowski 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

Hi, I've written a script that edits interwiki links according to directions provided in an XML file. Originally, I've written the script in order to apply changes recommended by an interwiki analysis tool that I've written: http://code.google.com/p/interwiki-analysis/ However, since the input file format is quite simple and generic, I think other users might find the tool useful. If you find the script interesting, feel free to add it to pywikipedia. You can download it from here: http://code.google.com/p/interwiki-analysis/source/browse/trunk/wikibot/int… Regards, Lukasz Bolikowski

[Pywikipedia-l] How to modify url for
by Chris Watkins 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

Using replace.py, the open in [b]rowser option uses the wrong url (it adds a /wiki which our wiki doesn't use): E.g. it's looking up http://www.appropedia.org/wiki/Permaculture when it should be http://www.appropedia.org/Permaculture How can I change this? The configuration (form of url) doesn't seem to be in the family file.

[Pywikipedia-l] Excluding categories with replace.py
by Bináris 27 Nov '09

27 Nov '09

Hi, can I _exclude_ categories from replace.py? I mean it has -cat/-catr/-subcats/-subcatsr for working within a category. But I want to use it everywhere BUT in a given category end its subcats. Or could anyone write this feature? The task is: changing o/O letters following a digit to 0 (zero). This is a frequent error. But I don't work in Chemistry and subcats, because there is more often on purpose. -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] how to use exceptinside?
by Chris Watkins 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

I want to do a search and replace on FOO1, except where it occurs within the text of an external link, e.g. [https://www.blah.bar/ blah FOO1 more text]. I was using -exceptinsidetag:hyperlink but eventually realized it only excludes hits within the actual url. I'm guessing I need to use exceptinside, but not sure how. Can someone give me some guidance? I'm already using -regex. The actual command I'm using is: python replace.py -regex "(?si)\b((?:FOO1|FOO2))\b(.*$)" "[[\\1]]\\2" -exceptinsidetag:link -exceptinsidetag:hyperlink -exceptinsidetag:header -exceptinsidetag:nowiki -exceptinsidetag:ref -excepttext:"(?si)\[\[((?:FOO1|FOO2)[\|\]])" -namespace:0 -namespace:102 -namespace:4 -summary:"[[Appropedia:Wikilink bot]] adding double square brackets to: FOO1|FOO2." -log -xml:currentdump.xml (Not that I understand regex much - I had lots of help getting there.)
