[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

[Pywikipedia-l] pages created on date
by John R. Frank 22 Mar '13

Hi PyWikipedians, Is there a simple way to get a list of pages created on a particular date? I was hoping to find something in pagegenerators, but maybe not? Thanks for any pointers! John

Hey, delete.py uses this summary for deleting a list of pages from file (-file:file.txt option): 'delete-from-file': u'Robot: Deleting a list of files.', It's really wrong and all of translation is based on this and all of them must change Best -- Amir

[Pywikipedia-l] Changing claims via PWB
by Amir Ladsgroup 15 Mar '13

15 Mar '13

Hello, I made commits r11209-11212 for making easier to change claims via API you can see the manual here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikipediabot/Wikidata#Changing_or_cr… you simply can call and change properties and give them values I tested it on two categories and it worked ( http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_permissions/Bot/Dexbot_2) I haven't work on errors yet (for example if new and old values are same the code returns error instead of simply not saving the change like mediawiki) but if there is any bugs, tell me Cheers -- Amir

Dear all, Hello, I am Gabriel Chi Hong Lee from Hong Kong, I would like to ask that where is the correct place to learn how to make an pywikipedia-bot? I have a own wiki that I can try it on there.

[Pywikipedia-l] Renaming of some German-specific fixes
by Bináris 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Hi, I recommend to rename two fixes in fixes.py. datum --> datum-de music --> music-de These are both German-specific while their names might be used for other languages, too, and this is annoying. I will do that if there are no strong objections. (Bot owners who use them and don't read the list will then get an error message with the available fixes and will easily find the new names.) Moreover, it's a good philosophical question, how much to include language-specific fixes in the common file. I have several dozens of Hungarian fixes and never committed them. :-) -- Bináris
