[Pywikipedia-l] Urlencoded section titles
by Bináris 13 Sep '18

13 Sep '18

Happy Monday, There are strange people who make such links (kindof urlencoded?): [[Második világháború#Partrasz.C3.A1ll.C3.A1s Szic.C3.ADli.C3.A1ban .28Huskey hadm.C5.B1velet.29|Huskey hadműveletben]] So the section title must have been copied from the URL. Do we have a ready tool to fix these? -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] Template parsing code
by Hannes Röst 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Hello all >From one of my assignments as a bot operator I have some code which does template parsing and general text parsing (e.g. Image/File tags). It is not using regex and thus able to correctly parse nested templates and other such nasty things. I have written those as library classes and written tests for them which cover almost all of the code. I would now really like to contribute that code back to the community. Would you be interested in adding this code to the pywikibot framework? If yes, can I send the code to someone for code review or how do you usually operate? Greetings Hannes PS: wiki userpage is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hannes_R%C3%B6st

[Pywikipedia-l] Automatic generation of templates descriptions
by Yury Katkov 14 Apr '13

14 Apr '13

Hello! Is there a bot or extension that can generate stubs of template descriptions by template wikitext? It should be pretty simple: the bot will just grab all template parameters {{{PARAMETER}}} and lists those parameters. If no such extensions exists could anybody tell how to programaticaly get the parameters of a given template? Sincerely yours, ----- Yury Katkov

[Pywikipedia-l] problem with private wiki
by Matthias Schlögl 14 Apr '13

14 Apr '13

I try to edit pages in a private wiki with pywikipedia. the wiki is password protected, so you cant even look at a page without logging in. While the login is working normal, I get an error that I dont have access to the api as soon as I try to actually do anything: RuntimeError: {u'info': u'You need read permission to use this module', u'code': u'readapidenied'} {u'info': u'You need read permission to use this module', u'code': u'readapidenied'} The user account of the bot is active and the bot user group should have access to the api. Does anybody have an idea how I can solve this problem? Thank you very much!

[Pywikipedia-l] Text is unchanged
by Sorawee Porncharoenwase 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

Today, I put text to a page by my bot. pywikibot.showDiff() shows clearly that text is removed from previous revision for 2 lines and code returns from put() also indicate that putting succeeds (302, 'OK', {u'pageid': ..., u'title': u'...', u'newtimestamp': u'...', u'contentmodel': u'wikitext', u'result': u'Success', u'oldrevid': ..., u'newrevid': ...}) However, actually the text isn't changed! History page shows me that the text is added 1 byte (or sometimes o byte), but the content and its previous version are really the same. Did anyone meet this problem? ---- Sorawee Porncharoenwase

[Pywikipedia-l] Overmagnified pictures
by Bináris 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

Hi folks, Is there a tool to hunt for overmagnified pictures and restore them? I mean when a JPG is originally 150 px and is rendered to 300 px in the article which is a useless enlargement and results in an ugly picture. Or do we have any part of it, e.g. determining the size of a picture? I think JPG is the main subject, GIFs are perhaps less involved and SVG is of course problemless. -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] Calling _getUserDataOld in wikipedia.getUrl???
by Marcin Cieslak 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

I just wanted to put() a simple page on a MediaWiki 1.16 instance, where I have to use screen scraping (use_api=False). There is something strange however: There is an API call invoked by _getBlocked: /w/api.php?action=query&format=json&meta=userinfo&uiprop=blockinfo Here's my backtrace: File "pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 693, in get expandtemplates = expandtemplates) File "pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 743, in _getEditPage return self._getEditPageOld(get_redirect, throttle, sysop, oldid, change_edit_time) File "pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 854, in _getEditPageOld text = self.site().getUrl(path, sysop = sysop) File "pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 5881, in getUrl self._getUserDataOld(text, sysop = sysop) File "pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 6016, in _getUserDataOld blocked = self._getBlock(sysop = sysop) File "pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 5424, in _getBlock data = query.GetData(params, self) File "pywikipedia/query.py", line 146, in GetData jsontext = site.getUrl( path, retry=True, sysop=sysop, data=data) getUrl(), which is also called from API, seems always to call _getUserDataOld(text) where text is ... API output so it tries to do strange things on that and gives warnings like Note: this language does not allow global bots. WARNING: Token not found on wikipedia:pl. You will not be able to edit any page. which is nonsense since the analyzed text is not HTML - only API output. If getUrl() is supposed to be a low-level call, why call _getUserDataOld() there? http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/pywikipedia/7461 has introduced this call there. It's easily reproducable by this: import wikipedia import config config.use_api = False wikipedia.verbose = True s = wikipedia.getSite("pl", "wikipedia") p = wikipedia.Page(s, u"User:Saper") c = p.get() c += "" p.put(c, u"Testing wiki", botflag=False) //Saper

[Pywikipedia-l] Problems with pageimport.py on 3rd party wiki
by Gregory Varnum 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

Having problems with pageimport.py on a third-party wiki (WikiQueer). Anyone else having issues with that script? I'm calling it from a script I'm playing around with - but no luck. It doesn't error out - but it doesn't import and confirms that the import failed. Here's the "test" script I'm working from: import wikipedia as pywikibot from pageimport import * def main(): wanted_category_title = "Apple" enwiki_site = pywikibot.getSite() importerbot = Importer(enwiki_site) # Inizializing importerbot.Import(wanted_category_title,project='wikipedia', prompt = True) try: main() finally: pywikibot.stopme() On a related note, the ultimate goal is to import pages for "Wanted Categories" from English Wikipedia into the third-party wiki. Any ideas, tips or existing code to that end would also be appreciated. Thanks! -greg aka varnent ------- Gregory Varnum Lead, Aequalitas Project Lead Administrator, WikiQueer Founding Principal, VarnEnt @GregVarnum fb.com/GregVarnum

Re: [Pywikipedia-l] Rewrite branch, issue with user pages in aliased namespace

You should delete the API cache first. xqt ----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht ----- Von: Morten Wang Gesendet: 27.02.2013 16:39 An: Pywikipedia discussion list Betreff: [Pywikipedia-l] Rewrite branch,issue with user pages in aliased namespace Hi all, I've run into an interesting issue on Portuguese Wikipedia, with a user page that's in the aliased user namespace: import pywikibot; site = pywikibot.getSite('pt'); page = pywikibot.Page(site, u"Usuário:Vitorvicentevalente"); page.title(); u'Usu\xe1rio(a):Vitorvicentevalente' page.get() [NOTE: callback trace removed for brevity] pywikibot.exceptions.Error: loadrevisions: Query on [[pt:Usuário(a):Vitorvicentevalente]] returned data on 'Usuário:Vitorvicentevalente' According to the API "Usuário" is a valid namespace alias[1]. Is there an easy workaround or fix here? Also, I've noticed this is not an issue in trunk, it's just the rewrite branch that produces this error. Footnotes: 1: ref: http://pt.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=general… Regards, Morten
