i18n files and pip
by André Costa 08 Sep '22

08 Sep '22

Hi all, I'm building a small pywikibot tool[1] which is designed to be installed via pip (and in turn installs Pywikibot via pip). The tool uses the page.touch() function which is where I get a pywikibot.i18n.TranslationError when I run it. page.touch() gets it's edit summary from i18n.twtranslate(self.site, 'pywikibot-touch') which in turn is defined in /scripts/i18n/pywikibot/. Unless I'm confused the Error occurs because the pip distribution does not include the /scripts folder or the i18n submodule. So my first question is am I just doing something obviously wrong and the i18n submodule should have been available over pip as well? If it's not just me then would it not make sense to have any i18n files necessary to the Pywikibot *library* to also be distributed via the same pip package? (i18n for scripts is another issue since for scripts you cannot use pip).

Deprecation policy?
by Damian Johnson 15 Nov '21

15 Nov '21

Hi lovely pywikibot folks. I'd like to clean up our deprecated code since we have some that's six years old.... % grep -RIoh "since='[^']\+'" ./* | sort | head -n 5 since='20150206' since='20150515' since='20150615' since='20150617' since='20150619' % grep -RIoh "since='[^']\+'" ./* | wc -l 130 What is pywikibot's policy regarding code deprecation? Can we remove it after a set duration and, if so, what is it? Thanks! -Damian

Bots and tools need to upgrade to Pywikibot 6.6.1
by Kunal Mehta 24 Sep '21

24 Sep '21

Hi everyone, Bots and tools using Pywikibot must upgrade to version 6.6.1[1] otherwise they will break when deprecated API parameters are removed[2]. If you have any questions or need help in upgrading, please reach out using one of the Pywikibot communication channels[3]. [1] https://doc.wikimedia.org/pywikibot/stable/changelog.html [2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.37/Deprecation_of_legacy_API_tok… [3] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Pywikibot/Communic… Thanks, -- Legoktm

[BREAKING CHANGE] Pagename/filename normalization on saving an edit
by Lucas Werkmeister 13 Sep '21

13 Sep '21

Hello, As you may know, Wikibase currently does not normalize pagenames/filenames on save (e.g. underscores in the input for properties of datatype Commons media are allowed). At the same time, Wikidata’s quality constraints extension <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikibaseQualityConstraints> triggers a constraint violation after saving, if underscores are used. This is by design as to long-established <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:Constraint:Commons_link> Community practices. As a result, this inconsistency leaves users with unnecessary manual work. We will update Wikibase so that when a new edit is saved via UI or API, and a pagename/filename is added or changed in that edit, then this pagename/filename will be normalized on save ("My file_name.jpg" -> "My file name.jpg"). More generally, the breaking change is that a user of the Wikibase API may send one data value when saving an edit, and get back a slightly different (normalized) data value after the edit was made: it is no longer the case that data values are either saved unmodified or totally rejected (e.g. if a file doesn’t exist on Commons). Since this guarantee is being removed with this breaking change announcement, we may introduce further normalizations in the future and only announce them as significant changes, not breaking changes. The change is currently available on test.wikidata.org and test-commons.wikimedia.org. It will be deployed on Wikidata on or shortly after September 6th. If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to let us know in this ticket <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T251480>.
