[Pywikipedia-l] LiquidThreads
by Bináris 31 Dec '10

31 Dec '10

Hi folks, on huwiki LiquidThreads is switched on on a particular page of project namespace, and some people have switched it on on their own talk pages without any encouragement to do so. In the future this tool will spread. (For those not familiar with LT: this is the proposed future of talk pages.) Does pywikibot have any tools for LT? I mean *deciding whether LT is implemented in a specific wiki or not *deciding if a user/category/template/article/community page (not in "talk" namespace!) has conventional talk/page form or LT *handling LT pages -- Bináris

Ok, your site is messed up. I am attaching a working family file, but other than logining in it cant do anything else. When I tried to login using a web browser I keep getting redirected to http://nintendo-cartridges-database.the-chronicles/forums/login.php which is not a valid page, there is nothing I can do for you until you straighten out the mess that you have setup for mediawiki

[Pywikipedia-l] Help required setting up archivebot.py on a new wiki
by Nathaniel 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Please pardon the interruption. I'm attempting to set up automatic archiving on a new wiki, but have not had success. I've documented the process I followed and the contents of relevant files at http://wiki.mises.org/wiki/User:Forgottenman/sandbox. If you can help or need additional information, feel free to contact me directly at forgottenman(a)mises.com or [[User talk:Forgottenman]] on that wiki (no registration required). Thanks, --N

Re: [Pywikipedia-l] [Pywikipedia-svn] SVN: [8785] trunk/pywikipedia

Hello all, I'd just like to note that I'm really not happy with this: On 21 December 2010 01:11, <valhallasw(a)svn.wikimedia.org> wrote: > Follow-up to r8784: introducing iwkeys > > The changes by purodha seem to have some more side effects due to tight > coupling inside the library code.

Combined with a lack of automated testing, making large -or even small- changes in framework code is dangerous, to say the least. Especially since the code *will* be used throughout wikipedia, possibly causing botwars and an enormous mess. As such, I would like to suggest - *strongly* suggest - not to implement new features into trunk any more. The much cleaner rewrite should be the place to put these features. This means only bugfixes and family/language updates should go into trunk. Comments welcome. Best regards, Merlijn

[Pywikipedia-l] Failure to login to a new mediawiki setup
by Kjartan Hauksson 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

Hello I recently set up debian (squeeze) and installed mediawiki package (1:1.15.5-1) on a brand new server. The previous mediawiki server ran just fine but after redirecting the dns entry for my wiki site to the new server I tried to login only to have it fail on me. # python login.py -v -pass:thewikiuserpassword Pywikipediabot nightly:pywikipedia (r7206, 2009/09/03, 16:56:11) Python 2.6.3 (r263:75183, Oct 4 2009, 14:29:19) [C] Logging in to wikios:wikios as wikios Note: this language does not allow global bots. Login failed. Wrong password or CAPTCHA answer? Is there a setting on my new wiki site that I need to enable to allow for global bots or is there perhaps something else that is going on ? TIA -Kjartan

[Pywikipedia-l] Duplicate iws
by Bináris 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Kamikazebot put interwikilinks on a community page that has its iws on a header subpage, transcluded as a template. Should it recognize the subpage? I think it must be implemented because many pages use this technics. http://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikip%C3%A9dia:Kocsmafal_%28helye… -- Bináris

A few things are wrong in this commit 1) The changes do not match the commit message. A license change is not related. 2) You cannot change the license of a script without asking to ALL contributors of the file for their permissions. No one asked me if it was OK for me to switch from a license to another. Note that I am personally fine with changing license if it's required, but doing so without asking the original authors can seriously harm the project.... Regards, -- Nicolas Dumazet — NicDumZ

[Pywikipedia-l] Page.py - User.contributions() crashing on deleted edit comments
by Morten Wang 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

Hi, Got a KeyError in page.py, line 2067, lines 2066-67 go: yield Page(self.site, contrib['title'], contrib['ns']), \ contrib['revid'], ts, contrib['comment'] In the case of a deleted edit comment, it appears that the dictionary for each edit returned by site.usercontribs() doesn't contain said key ('comment'), resulting in a KeyError. I've currently patched my local copy to handle the problem, don't know if it's appropriate to handle this in User.contributions(), Site.usercontribs(), or somewhere else. Cheers, Morten
