[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

Presentation Code of Conduct Committee candidates and community review
by Quim Gil 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

Following the process described in the Code of Conduct for Wikimedia technical spaces <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct>, the Wikimedia Foundation’s Technical Collaboration team has selected five candidates to form the first Code of Conduct Committee and five candidates to become auxiliary members. Here you have their names in alphabetical order. For details about each candidate, please check https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct/Committee_members Committee member candidates: - Amir Sarabadani (Ladsgroup) - Lucie-Aimée Kaffee (Frimelle) - Nuria Ruiz (NRuiz-WMF) - Sébastien Santoro (Dereckson) - Tony Thomas (01tonythomas) Auxiliary member candidates: - Ariel Glenn (ArielGlenn) - Caroline Becker (Léna) - Florian Schmidt (Florianschmidtwelzow) - Huji - Matanya This list of candidates is subject to a community review period of two weeks starting today. If no major objections are presented about any candidate, they will be appointed in six weeks. You can provide feedback on these candidates, via private email to techconductcandidates(a)wikimedia.org. This feedback will be received by the Community Health <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Technical_Collaboration/Community_health> group handling this process, and will be treated with confidentiality. We want to thank all the people who has considered the possibility to support the Code of Conduct with their participation in this Committee. 77 persons have been contacted during the selection process, counting self-nominations and recommendations. From these, 21 made it to a short list of candidates confirmed and (according to our estimation) a potential good fit for the Committee. Selecting the five candidates for the Committee has been hard, as we have tried to form a diverse group that could work together effectively in the consolidation of the Code of Conduct. Selecting the five auxiliary members has been even harder, and we know that we have left out candidates who could have contributed just as much. Being the first people assuming these roles, we have tended a bit towards more technical profiles with good knowledge of our technical spaces. We believe that future renewals will offer better chances to other profiles (not so technical and/or not so Wikimedia veteran), adding a higher diversity and variety of perspectives to the mix.

PWB on PAWS
by Strainu 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

Hi, I'm trying to move some of my scripts to PAWS. Without realizing, I logged in to PAWS with my normal username, not my bot username, so when I try to change the username from user-config.py, I get the error: pywikibot.exceptions.NoUsername: Logged in on wikipedia:ro via OAuth as Strainu, but expect as Strainubot Is there any way I can change the username or do I need to create another notebook? If the latter, how can I easily move my files between notebooks? Thanks, Strainu

New release on PyPI (3.0.20170403)
by Merlijn van Deen (valhallasw) 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

Hello all, Per https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T152907, I have pushed a new release to PyPI: version 3.0.20170403. As you may have guessed from the version number, this is with the idea to essentially to 'timeboxed' releases, where we just push the most recent version from git to PyPI. This means a little less stability (releases may be broken inadvertently), but also means the version om PyPI will be much more up to date. If you require Pywikibot 2.x specifically as dependency, please take care to specify it as such in your requirements.txt/setup.py. Best, Merlijn
