[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

Possible-Tech-Project: catimages.py -> core
by Abdeali Kothari 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

Hi, I wanted to participate in GSoC 2016 with wikimedia and found a possible project about moving catimages.py from pywikibot-contrib to pywikibot-core. You can find the issue on phabricator at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T66838 I spoke to the author of catimages (@DrTrigon) and he mentioned that he was willing to be a mentor for such a project He also raised concern as to whether the community actually wanted this. As the script is quite dated, he mentioned that possibly some things in server side commons need to be changed to work correctly. I wanted to check if there was still demand for this transition or should the issue be closed ? Is this bot still of use to commons ? Regards, AbdealiJK

Patch for site.search
by Hannes Röst 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

Dear all I have created a patch for the site.search function as it often returned too many results which did not include the word I searched for. This patch should solve the problem on the bot side as I couldnt quite figure out whether there is a solution on the API side. Also, I didnt quite know where to post the patches, so I made a github pull request https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/pull/9 I hope you could have a look at the patches and maybe direct me to a better place to post these if you are interested in them. Best regards Hannes Roest

Number of open changesets
by Amir Ladsgroup 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

Hello, Per stats <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Reports/Changesets_by_project>. There are 305 open change sets in pywikibot/core which make us the second project after mediawiki/core in number of open change sets. Open change sets won't do any harm but sometimes it's hard to find good patches in pool of out-of-date-or-not-needed-anymore patches. Some projects have rules like "if a change set has -2 for more than N weeks, it can be abandoned" it can work for us. Also I think if we look into our own old patches we might find several patches that are not needed anymore due to several reasons such as being implemented another way, too big schema change in pywikibot, etc. We can abandon them. Please check your old patches. Best

Broken shared pywikibot on Tool Labs?
by Morten Wang 11 Feb '16

11 Feb '16

Looks like the shared pywikibot on Tool Labs is broken, or did it get moved somewhere else? '/shared/pywikipedia/core/pywikibot/' only contains the 'version' file. Regards, Morten

Replace text in page titles
by Bináris 06 Feb '16

06 Feb '16

Hi, I was just thinking about renaming articles in the way we change text by replace.py. I use replace.py for correcting spelling errors. They may appear as well in titles. Is there a way to correct misspelled titles using the flexibility and robustness of replace.py and fixes.py? I can use them to search such articles without renaming, if I replace space to anything and write the regex to 'require-title' exception list, but it only allows one regex (being the listed expressions in AND relation), which is not really comfortable. -- Bináris
