[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] Line length
by Fabian Neundorf 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

Hi all, after a short discussion about the line length in the pywikibot-core repo I made a little analysis (or more like 'gathered' the data). Currently the maximum allowed line length is 256 characters. Flake8 counts multi-bytes characters as one character (and afaik doesn't count the newline). The question is how easy it is to lower that to a value between 80 and 100 (when I submit code I try to have at most 80 characters sometimes it's 81). Maybe to 200 is short term feasible with only a 16 exceeding those. With a maximum of 150 characters at least 47 lines need to be edited. I used 'tox -e flake8' with the maximum line length set to 80 and then only used E501 entries. Some lines were garbled on the output like “./pywikibot/1: E501 line too long (82 > 80 characters)”. I tried to repair those lines if there was at least some kind of file name and line number (e.g. “ase.py:365”) but I deleted the rest. So those statistics only show the lowest number but I don't expect to much missing data. The data is gathered from ad6920135ef015855724ac660fa0dcfb1459cfda. And is available sorted line number first (so they could be fixed in reversed order) or sorted with line length first (so super long lines can be fixed primarily). There is a gist which contains both lists and a list of the quantity of all line lengths [1] and a Google Spreadsheet containing just the quantity numbers [2] to determine easily how many would need to be solved when enforcing a specific limit.

[Pywikipedia-l] out-of-date manuals
by Ricordisamoa 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

I found some documentation about PWB on Wikiversity and Wikibooks: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Pywikipediabot https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Pywikibot They're mostly obsolete, and should redirect to the up-to-date manual on MediaWiki.org. But since the license allows it, we can copy some content from there ;-) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Creating_a_bot#Pywikibot is somewhat newer, but still duplicates MW.org.

[Pywikipedia-l] Tests are failing
by Ricordisamoa 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Xqt made gerrit:178796 <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/178796/> not depend on gerrit:179591 <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/179591/> anymore. The latter should be merged, or the former should be reverted, because of failing tests <https://travis-ci.org/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/jobs/44055432>. I remember this already happened some time ago. Please do not remove dependencies from Gerrit changes without accurate checks.

[Pywikipedia-l] PWB documentation on MediaWiki.org
by Ricordisamoa 14 Dec '14

We should work on bringing and keeping the user manual up-to-date. When pages are stable, they should be marked for translation (including code samples). Also, why not to create a 'non-technical hub' at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Pywikibot (to which most related external sites should link)? See for example https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor (as opposed to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor).
