[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

Sorry for doubling. Forgot about subject. Hello, can you help please hot to add/remove spaces in text For exmaple "J.R.R.Tolkien" should transform to "J. R. R. Tolkien" I tried to use replace.py and user-fixes.py (u' \. ', u'\. '), (u' \..?', u'\. .?'), (u'.?\..?', u'.?\. .?'), But that's don't work. Hope on your help, thanks -- Кирилл Хохлов/Kirill Khokhlov

Usage of the account when retrieving data
by Strainu 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

Hi, I'm trying to retrieve 500 pages from a wiki at a time using PreloadingGenerator and I receive the warning "Too many values supplied for parameter 'pageids': the limit is 50". I checked by using the query [1] when logged in as a bot and it works (I do not get the warning), so I suppose the issue is with my pywikibot. I tried to make sure I was logged in [2], then ran the code again and I still get the warning. On the other hand, page updates are done correctly (with the bot username). The code I use is more or less the following: transGen = pagegenerators.ReferringPageGenerator(rowTemplate, onlyTemplateInclusion=True, step=1000) filteredGen = pagegenerators.NamespaceFilterPageGenerator(transGen, [namespace], site) pregenerator = pagegenerators.PreloadingGenerator(filteredGen, 500) Any ideas on how to debug further? Thanks, Strainu [1] https://commons.wikimedia.org//w/api.php?maxlag=5&rvprop=ids|flags|timestam… [2] I have a private app, so I added the access information directly in user-config.py

This is because imho this is in the scope of the developer and I do not recommend to reuse script parts and refactoring and improving scripts might be unnecessary difficult to keep old code stuff. It is an essential difference between compat and core to have library parts separated from user scripts. We have some scripts to be moved to framework [2] (I guess there are some patches to review). Anyway there is a RfC when deprecated code could be removed.

Where is int2month(num) and int2month_short(num)?
by Bináris 30 Aug '16

Hi, this is a compat question. In archivebot.py there were these functions earlier and now I see they aren't any more. Where are they, or what is their current name? I imported archivebot to another script and it stopped. -- Bináris

It would also be useful to add hashar, who probably wont +2 often but is around a lot and can help when there is a critical problem. And based on https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/graphs/contributors and https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/owner:%22Sn1per+%253Cgeofbot%2540gmail.c… , IMO sniper/geofbot has graduated from "GCI participant" to a consistent "Wikimedia developer" (yay!) and so should also have +2. -- John Vandenberg
