[Pywikipedia-l] Minor bug reports, please correct
by Bináris 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia/archivebot.py… In archivebot.py, line 219 'may' should be 'may_long', according to Special:Allmessages. Now it is identical to the short month name in line 228. (In English, Polish and some other languages they are really the same, but a Hungarian will immediately see the difference. :-) http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia/date.py?revis… In date.py, line 247, 'XXVIX' should be 'XXIX' (typo). In lines 892-894 'i.e.' should be 'i. e.' (with a space between them), and '0-ás' should be '0-s' (wrong Hungarian spelling). http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/I._e._0-s_%C3%A9vek exists, but redirects to "i. e. 1-es évek" (if that is a problem, correct it to 1-es instead of 0-s); the present one gives a search error: http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speci%C3%A1lis:Keres%C3%A9s/i.e.%200-%C3%A1s%2… Thanks, -- Bináris

Hi Merlijn, these updates are normaly made by /maintenance/update_namespaces.py bot script which calls the namespace via api. I've modified that script to be able dealing with all namespace aliases too. Anyway the order of ja: namespace and namespace alias has been changed and there is a difference between ja-wiki (1) and other projects like ja-wikinews (2). This caused me to change the family.py in r8236 as default (3) which has valid namespace aliases for all related mediawiki families in the right order (<namespace> first, <namespacealiases> behind in that list) and to override it in wikipedia_family (4). I do recommend not to change the family.py but the related wikia family file. Otherwise all mediawiki family files must have these override assignments you can find in wikipedia_family.py now. (1) look at http://ja.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespa… (2) look at http://ja.wikinews.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespac… (3) http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia/family.py?r1=… (4) http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia/families/wiki… I hope this explanation was understandable.

Hi xqt, On IRC, someone complained about a bad namespace for "User page:" when creating a page on ja.wow.wikia. It was changed in this revision: 2010/6/2 <xqt(a)svn.wikimedia.org> > Revision: 8236 > Author: xqt > Date: 2010-06-02 12:47:02 +0000 (Wed, 02 Jun 2010) > > Log Message: > ----------- > update namespaces for wikipedia:ja > > > @@ -831,7 +831,7 @@ > 'io': u'Uzanto Debato', > 'is': u'Notandaspjall', > 'it': u'Discussioni utente', > - 'ja': [u'利用者‐会話', u'利用者・トーク'], > + 'ja': [u'利用者・トーク', u'利用者‐会話'], > 'jv': u'Dhiskusi Panganggo', > 'ka': [u'მომხმარებლის განხილვა', u'მომხმარებელი განხილვა'], > 'kaa': u"Paydalanıwshı sa'wbeti", > > While jawiki seems to redirect the ''利用者・トーク' variant to the '利用者‐会話' variant. Is there a reason not to change this back? And what are these updates based on? Wikimedia source code? Best regards, Merlijn

[Pywikipedia-l] Beauty Award for isDisabled
by Bináris 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

I was studying textlib.py for some solution I need, and I found the function isDisabled(). This has a really ingenious solution, so I would like to offer the Beauty Award to the author whoever he was. :-) Btw, is someone living here? Sometimes I ask something, and as if I threw my letter into the well instead of the mailbox... -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] Introducing TOCbot

Have you ever tried to pywikibot.output a wikitable with 3000 rows? :-) I have. I began to write a new bot that creates TOC from the archives of a given community page or talk page. Its description page will be at http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szerkeszt%C5%91:BinBot/TOCbot. Some examples at the bottom of http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szerkeszt%C5%91:BinBot/kocsmatartalomfejl%C3%A…. This is why I started a thread here called "Date questions". Can anyone help? It would be good to make this bot available to the wider wikicommunity, not only for huwiki. -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] workon.py

Is there any interest in a script that quickly switches pywikipedia between wikis? This is something I created quickly to do the job. If there is interest in this, what would need to be changed? Is there any interest in incorporating it into the distribution of pywikipedia? (There is a os.chdir call and some os.system calls that would obviously need to be changed.) #!/usr/bin/env python """ This script enables pywikipedia to be switched between different wikis quickly.

[Pywikipedia-l] Date questions
by Bináris 27 Mar '11

27 Mar '11

Hi, is there a function in pywikibot to give any wiki's date format? I made an own regex using format['MonthName'] from date.py, but perhaps there is a simplier way. And is there a function to compare two standard format dates (i.e. ~~~~ or ~~~~~) in any wikis? I can easily write one for Hungarian dates, but I would like to offer my script for other wikis. -- Bináris

Hi, I wrote a script that examines articles using fullVersionHistory(). How can I know if a version is edited by a bot or a human? -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] import wikipedia
by Marcin Cieslak 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Hello, Whenever I "import wikipedia" (just for example to invoke help(something) or dir(something) few things happen in the background. Most notably some Throttles are initialized, and, if you don't have a user-config.py file, a nice configuration utility is launched. Is it possible that those things happen when one actually attempts to invoke the framework and to just inspect it? An obvious place, to me, is the first invocation of wikipedia.Page.getSite(), but maybe there are some issues? //Marcin

Hi! Where are the names of {{Featured article}} templates of different wikis? I have neither found them in interwiki.py nor in families. -- Bináris
