by masti 24 Oct '20

Hi, is there a way to check if the link will be catched by SpamFilter without saving the page? I am doing some link statistics and cannot save the results page due to global SpamFilter. masti

Using listpages with redirects
by John Bray 14 Oct '20

14 Oct '20

I'd like to get all the redirect pages out of a wiki, but pwb.py listpages -start:UK -grep:'#REDIRECT' -format:"{page.title}" -get produces nothing, but pwb.py listpages -start:UK -grep:'United Kingdom' -format:"{page.title}" -get produces, as expected UK #REDIRECT [[United Kingdom]] pwb.py listpages -start:UK -grep:'#' -format:"{page.title}" -get picks up pages with a # in them, but not any of the #REDIRECTs why isn't -grep just parsing the page fully?

ImageTransfer script
by John Bray 12 Oct '20

12 Oct '20

I want to do a controlled transfer of parts of one wiki to another. For the files I've transferred the images directory, but the metadata for the File:Happy.jpg page is missing, so I thought I'd try https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/imagetransfer.py I've got a page list with pwb.py listpages -ns:File -start -format:"{page.title}" > Files.list, but when try to transfer the pages with pwb.py imagetransfer -v File:Happy.jpeg -tofamily:newwiki Python 2.7.17 (default, Jul 20 2020, 15:37:01) [GCC 7.5.0] ------------------------------------------------------------ 0. Found image: [[File:Happy.jpeg]] Found 1 oldwiki:en-gb processes running, including this one. Found 1 newwiki:en-gb processes running, including this one. ============================================================ WARNING: /home/john/bin/pywikibot/core/scripts/imagetransfer.py:143: DeprecationWarning: pywikibot.page.FilePage.fileUrl is deprecated for 4 years and 4 months; use get_ file_url instead. url = sourceImagePage.fileUrl().encode('utf-8') URL should be: http://oldwiki.priory/images/1/1/Happy.jpeg WARNING: /data/priory1/home/john/bin/pywikibot/core1/pywikibot/page.py:2605: DeprecationWarning: pywikibot.page.FilePage.getFileVersionHistory is deprecated for 5 years and 11 months; use FilePage.get_file_history() instead. for info in self.getFileVersionHistory(): WARNING: url as string is deprecated.

Closing network session. Network session closed. So I checked newwiki/LocalSettings.php, and it has $wgEnableUploads = true; Is there something I'm missing to get the image uploaded, and does the 5 year DeprecationWarning mean this script is unsupported, so should be avoided?

New Pywikibot release 5.0
by info＠gno.de 04 Oct '20

04 Oct '20

Hi folks, a new stable release 5.0 will be deployed soon. There are some important points with this release: - Support for MediaWiki < 1.19 has been dropped. Support for LTS 1.19 and above will be kept until fandom wikis were updated - A lot of methods and classes which are deprecated for 5 years and more were removed. This includes all textlib functions which must be imported from textlib now and are no longer accessable directly from pywikibot module. The removal was announced previously by a FutureWarning. Please check your code, take attention to FutureWarning hints and refer the roadmap where other changed are announced. - Deprecated script options were removed and are no longer functional. Other changes: - The -help option does show global options anymore. You get them via -help:global or by the pwb.py wrapper script pwb -help. By the way the pwb.py wrapper is able to ignore misspellings for script calls bot also can handle all global options even a user script does not call the handle_args() function e.g. to change the default lang code and family. Refer pwb.py (without parameters) to see the usage. - APISite.recentchanges() does no longer accept positional arguments - The new method Page.get_best_claim () retrieves the preferred Claim of a property referring to the given page - BasePage.has_deleted_revisions() method was added deleted revs can be retrieved without the deletedhistory right - Siteinfo.get() loads data via API instead from cache if expiry parameter is True - Wikibase entities are loaded when necessary - some circular imports are solved refer https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot/blob/master/ROADMAP.rst for the full changelog after https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/pywikibot/core/+/630579 has been merged. There are some outstanding bugfixes and improvements waiting for review at gerrit; see if you can help. Best xqt

My Introduction
by ADITYA VATS 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Hii Everyone! Hope you all are doing well. I'm Aditya Vats, and I'm new to wikimedia codebase. Previously I've contributed on Github <https://www.github.com/avats-dev> to some open source projects, but gerrit is new to me. I'm excited to work and contribute here. I'm proficient in python, html, css and know somewhat c, c++, javascript. In the pywikibot project, as a starting contributor, I'm thinking of working on porting to py3.5+ and to improve the project's test suite, although I might need a lot of help on the way. Open to suggestions and help. Hoping for supportive responses. Thanks and regards --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADITYA VATS Engineering Undergrad at IIITDMJ <https://www.iiitdmj.ac.in/> Open Source Contributor and developer

replaceCategoryLinks fails with “Invalid argument type '<type 'str'>' in Page initializer: B”
by Jean-Frédéric 23 Aug '20

23 Aug '20

Hi, In the heritage repo [1], I have pywikibot pinned to 3.0.20180823. Upgrading to latest version leads to two of my unit tests to fail [2] (I’m not 100% sure, but I do believe the same errors popped up last time I tried upgrading in August 2019.) The unit tests are at [3], the method tested at [4], and the stack trace at [5]. I have been digging a bit in the git history to understand what happened between August 2018 and August 2019 / August 2020 in textlib but nothing jumped. Would anyone know what the change is caused by, and how I should update my code? Thanks!

Pywikibot and PAWS
by Sarah R 19 Aug '20

19 Aug '20

Hi Folks, I'm working on improving PAWS user documentation <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/PAWS>and plan to create a notebook/tutorial to help users who are interested in using Pywikibot in PAWS <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/PAWS>. I'm looking for examples of notebooks that use Pywikibot and am reaching out here to see if anyone on this list has a public notebook they would be willing to share? (Note: we have a public index of notebooks <https://public.paws.wmcloud.org/?C=M&O=D> -- but it's a lot of random searching). If there is something missing from the current documentation or something you think should be included, please share. I'll be reaching out here for more feedback as I'm working on these docs. :-) Many kindnesses, Sarah R. Rodlund Senior Technical Writer, Developer Advocacy <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Developer_Advocacy> srodlund(a)wikimedia.org
