Using on a wkia (fandom.com) site
by John Bray 30 May '20

30 May '20

I can use pywikibot well for self hosted fancyclopedia.org, and now want to use it on wikia site hornblower.fandom.com. I got the wiki admins to give me bot access for my account vicarage python pwb.py generate_user_files I chose family wikia, username vicarage, but not BotPassword as https://hornblower.fandom.com/wiki/Special:BotPasswords does not exist python pwb.py listpages -cat:Captains WARNING: Non-JSON response received from server wikia:wikia; the server may be down. So there is that problem, and I'm not sure how to feed in my password. John

CodeReview to be removed from mediawiki.org, dumps available
by Kunal Mehta 18 May '20

18 May '20

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi everyone, We're planning to review the CodeReview extension, which was used during the SVN era, from mediawiki.org soon. A static HTML dump of the code review comments is available at <https://static-codereview.wikimedia.org/> and SQL dumps are available at <https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/codereview/20200428/>. The next steps will be to set up redirects from Special:CodeReview/[...] to the new static dump website and remove the CodeReview extension. Please let us know if you see anything missing from those sets of dumps so we can figure out an archival plan before removal. The main Phabricator task for tracking this is <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T205361>.

replicate_category.py
by Evans, Richard K. (GRC-H000) 04 May '20

04 May '20

Hello, I run a v34 enterprise mediawiki server with multiple private wikis for my organization and I've been told that WMF uses PyWikiBot to synchronize specific pages across all of the WMF wikis. I'd like to do a similar thing and so I have installed and configured PyWikiBot on my server and have the bot accounts all set up and have successfully run the "add_text.py" script to prove that it all works. Now I'd like to automate the page replications across my wikis. I see the core script called "replicate_wiki.py" which would be exactly what I need if all my pages were exclusively on a single namespace; but in my case, all of the pages I want to keep synchronized are in a specific category. Is there a "category" equivalent to "replicate_wiki"? Is there something link a "replicate_category.py" out there that someone can point me to? Thanks! /Rich
