As part of my wikidot porting, I fear I'm going to end up with a lot of
unnecessary redirects, pages who's purpose has gone with the tidy up of the
database I need to perform to handle case sensitivity.
Is there a simple way of selecting all orphaned pages that are redirects
and deleting them? The Special:LonelyPages seems to exclude redirects. I've
installed Special:UnusedRedirects, would running
delete.py -links Special:UnusedRedirects
be the way to go?

Thanks Merlijn for the detailed advice. I've got that kind of regexp fest
on conversion already, some 350 rules and growing, but I'm sure I'll miss
many cases, so just worry that after-import fixes will be a lot slower.
I'll cross my fingers that wikidot staggers on and add more import
conversions.

I'm porting a 28k page Wikidot wiki to mediawiki. As wikdot is case
insensitive, I'm generating lots of broken links to "SF fandom" as the
mediawiki page is created as "SF Fandom".
Now I could try creating case-changing redirects, but the pywikibot script
capitalize_redirects doesn't do what I want, as it would create a redirect
"Sf fandom", which is no use, and would create vast numbers of redirects I
didn't need.
What I really need is a tool that spots a broken link "SF fandom", realises
there is a page "SF Fandom" that would match if case insensitive, and
changes the link to be [[SF Fandom|SF fandom]]
Does such a script exist? With so many pages it would have to be automatic,
and I could cope if it picked the wrong one of 2 capitalisation choices.

Re-adding the list which got dropped accidentally.

Hi there,
I'm trying to run scripts/imagcopy.py like this:
python3 pwb.py scripts/imagecopy.py -transcludes:codLMI
-transcludes:"Transferabil la Commons" -intersect
and I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pwb.py", line 257, in <module>
if not main():
File "pwb.py", line 250, in main
run_python_file(filename, [filename] + args, argvu, file_package)
File "pwb.py", line 119, in run_python_file
main_mod.__dict__)
File "./scripts/imagecopy.py", line 595, in <module>
main()
File "./scripts/imagecopy.py", line 556, in main
imagepage.templates()).getnewname()
File "/home/andrei/pywikibot-core/pywikibot/tools/__init__.py", line
1820, in wrapper
return obj(*new_args, **new_kwargs)
File "./scripts/imagecopy.py", line 404, in __init__
super(TkdialogIC, self).__init__()
TypeError: __init__() missing 3 required positional arguments:
'photo_description', 'photo', and 'filename'
I tried giving some parameters there, but 'photo' seems to expect a
local file. Now, the Tkdialog class hasn't been changed in 4 years,
but the imagecopy script has been edited recently, so I suspect this
is somehow a local problem.
Did anyone see this issue before? Any tips on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Strainu

This is K. Kaushik Reddy from India. I'm a GSoC '19 enthusiast, ready to
work with Wikimedia, to learn and explore more. I am interested in this
project, also I have submitted a PR regarding the documention of the
warning( ) function under logging module, in this project. Soon will also
look on few bugs in order to patch them. It's great being a part of this
community. Your kind help and suggestions would be appreciated.
Best,
K. Kaushik Reddy.
Hi Everyone,
Over the last few months, the Wikimedia Developer Advocacy team has been
working to improve technical documentation for the MediaWiki Action API
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page>.
So far, we have:
- Started efforts to revise, simplify, and reorganize the MediaWiki
Action API pages on MediaWiki using a new documentation template for
sub-pages: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Documentation_template
- Updated the API navigation-template:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:API
As we continue to make improvements to the technical documentation, we
could use your help to better guide our efforts!
Would you please take a few moments to complete the following survey and
share your opinions and experiences with us?
