Temporary solution for a FlaggedRevs problem
by Bináris 08 Nov '24

08 Nov '24

Sites using FlaggedRevs have a problem, see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T379218 Beacuse of this error, new pages created by trusted users will be unreviewed instead of reviewed. A temporary solution for reviewing these pages (currently excluded new redirect pages): https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szerkeszt%C5%91:BinBot/huwiki/temp_review.py -- Bináris

SDC: wbeditentity combining labels and claims?
by tohuuu 17 Oct '24

17 Oct '24

Hi all, is there a way to set both SDC labels and SDC claims in one single wbeditentity API call? I tried to pass a dictionary with the following structure as data payload: {'claims': [{...}, {...}, {...}], 'labels': {'de': 'german...', 'en': 'english ...'}} but this triggerend an API error: pywikibot.exceptions.APIError: not-recognized-array: An array was expected, but not recognized. Based on this error message, I assumed that the labels should get passed as list, too: {'labels': [{'language': 'de', 'value': 'de...'}, {'language': 'en', 'value': 'en...'}], 'claims': [{...}, {...}, {...}]} but that gave me a different error: pywikibot.exceptions.APIError: param-illegal: You need to provide either an entity "id", or a "site" and "page" combination, but not both. Am I doing something wrong? Or is setting both SDC labels and SDC claims not supported? Thanks for any help! Florian

SDC: Add multiple claims in one edit?
by tohuuu 13 Sep '24

13 Sep '24

Hi all, i'm working on a bot whose task is to add some SDC claims to the mediainfo of Commons file pages. While there's a method removeClaims() (see https://doc.wikimedia.org/pywikibot/master/api_ref/pywikibot.html#pywikibot…) to remove multiple claims in one step, its counterpart addClaim() (see https://doc.wikimedia.org/pywikibot/master/api_ref/pywikibot.html#pywikibot…) doesn't accept a list of claims to add. This results in separate API calls (?) for each single claim top add. Is there a factual reason for that difference? Is there a different way to add multiple SDC claims in one edit step? Thanks in advance! Florian

Custom log msg format?
by tohuuu 30 Aug '24

30 Aug '24

Hi all, how to customize the logging output of a bot based on pywikibot? There should be a class bot.LoggingFormatter - see https://doc.wikimedia.org/pywikibot/stable/api_ref/bot.html#bot.LoggingForm… - but i don't understand how to implement it, and there seems no example code available. The pywikibot.logging module just tells how to issue log messages, but not how to configure the logger. Additionally, there's a tools._logging moduile with some cryptic docs ("Initialize the formatter with specified format strings. Initialize the formatter either with the specified format string, or a default as described above." Above????) - see https://doc.wikimedia.org/pywikibot/master/api_ref/tools/pywikibot.tools.ht… . Thanks for any input... Florian

How to translate interwiki link into URL?
by tohuuu 23 Aug '24

23 Aug '24

Hi all, again a newbie question: How do i "translate" an interwiki link into a URL? Example: Parsing "[[:mw:Manual:Pywikibot|Manual:Pywikibot]]" using mwparserfromhell yields a WikiLink object with title=":mw:Manual:Pywikibot" and text = "Manual:Pywikibot" (both of type WikiCode). Is there a way to translate the title part ":mw:Manual:Pywikibot" into the URL https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot ? Thank you for any hints! Florian

31 May '24

This error encounters when my script is finished and pywikibot closing the network session. For the complete source code, please see https://github.com/tohuuuuu/HandleCommonsOnOSMBot/blob/main/HandleCommonsOn… I took the part starting with "def main(*args: str) -> None:" from https://doc.wikimedia.org/pywikibot/stable/library_usage.html - maybe this isn't the correct way to use it? Since the bot code works fine, it looks like a minor problem, but i'm curious if i did something wrong. Cheers Florian

How to list contributions of an IP range?
by Bináris 12 Apr '24

12 Apr '24

anon = '89.134.24.79/16' user = pywikibot.User(site, anon) for contrib in user.contributions(): print(contrib[1]) This makes nothing. (There is a massive vandal from a range, and I want to hide all the inappropriate contents made by him.) -- Bináris

Mass hide revisions
by Bináris 11 Apr '24

11 Apr '24

*TL;DR*: we can mass hide vandal revisions from pages histories, e.g. obscene images and edit comments. Of course, this needs admin rights. It is easy to mass hide revisions from the history of one page without bot, just click checkboxes. But it is tiring, if several pages are involved. I wrote a script that is not ready to publish, and I won't show it for the vandal, and needs manual editing. But I can send it in a private mail to those who are interested. The API documentation is here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Revisiondelete But it is not complete. I learned on my own that multiple revids may concern the same page. We don't have to write the title into the request, but must group the revisions by page. The required format is e.g. 27009438|27009402|27009353|27009335|27009151 with pipe, all ids belong to the same page, otherwise they won't all be processed, just the first page. This is an undocumentetd feature. :-) Sample code fragment (run with -user:myadminaccount): hide = 'content|comment|user' # Just to show the syntax, keep what you need reason = 'Vandalism' def gen() -> Iterator[str]: """Yield ids to hide in the above form, page by page. Here comes your work.""" yield' 27009438|27009402|27009353|27009335|27009151' # Example token = site.get_tokens(['csrf']).get('csrf') # get a single token for ids in gen(): params = {'action': 'revisiondelete', 'type': 'revision', 'ids': ids, 'hide': hide, 'token': token, 'reason': reason, } request = site.simple_request(**params) request.submit() To get the ids use for contrib in user.contributions(): contrib[0] will be the page object, while contrib[1] the revision id for each contribution. -- Bináris
