Breaking change (but for which users)
by André Costa 21 Nov '16

21 Nov '16

Just a heads up that the upcoming breaking change to WikiBase[1] will require a breaking change in how Pywikibot handles Quantities on Wikidata/WikiBase. I have prepared a patch[2] which also ensures backwards compatibility for older WikiBase installations, but at the cost of more work for anyone wanting to use Pywikibot on Wikidata (and other up-to-date WikiBase installations). The alternative is a more serious breakage for users running Pywikibot on older WikiBase installations but only a minor one for those running it on Wikidata. Feedback and thought are appreciated over at T150210 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T150210>[3]. The WikiBase breaking change goes live on Wikidata 2016-11-15 Cheers, André / Lokal_Profil [1] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/302248/ [2] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/320649 [3] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T150210

Compat deprecation
by info＠gno.de 13 Nov '16

13 Nov '16

pywikibot compat is broken since mediawiki release 1.28 due to login error. [1] Deprecation of compat was announced long time ago [2][3][4][5][and some others]. I guess it is time to close this branch now. Anyway if one wants to fix this breaker, do it. Personally I would not like to investigate deeper in this matter and keeping compat still alive.

Interwikis / Wikidata - Script name and where it can be found?
by MarcoAurelio 10 Nov '16

10 Nov '16

Hello, good day, I was wondering which script is used to do the kind of edits Addbot does:< https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Contribuciones/Addbot>. I also saw some other bots using that as well. I've been looking at mw:PWB/Wikidata but I can't find it. Is is publicy avalaible and installation guide also avalaible? I'm working on some small and recently created wikis migrating the links where possible. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, M.

Wikimedia takes part in Google Code-in. Which small Pywikibot tasks do you plan to mentor?
by Andre Klapper 07 Nov '16

07 Nov '16

Wikimedia is among the 17 organizations in Google Code-in (GCI) 2016! GCI starts on November 28th. It's a contest for 13-17 year old students working on small tasks and a great opportunity to let new contributors make progress and help with smaller tasks on your To-Do list! There are currently 20 open Pywikibot tasks marked as easy: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/MFMAJhKxi2V9/#R What we want you to do: BECOME A MENTOR: 1. Go to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2016 and add yourself to the mentor's table. 2. Get an invitation email to register on the contest site. PROVIDE SMALL TASKS: We want your tasks in the following areas: code, outreach/research, documentation/training, quality assurance, user interface/design. 1. Create a Phabricator task (which would take you 2-3h to complete) or pick an existing Phabricator task you'd mentor. 2. Add the "Google-Code-In-2016" project tag. 3. Add a comment "I will mentor this in #GCI2016". Looking for task ideas? Check the "easy" tasks in Phabricator: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs offers links. Make sure to cover expectations and deliverables in your task. And once the contest starts on Nov 28, be ready to answer and review contributions quickly. Any questions? Just ask, we're happy to help. Thank you for your help broadening our contributor base! andre -- Andre Klapper | Wikimedia Bugwrangler http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/

Github builds failing
by André Costa 04 Nov '16

04 Nov '16

Hi all, By accident I noticed that the Github build jobs all seem to be failing. Since gerrit doesn't actually run any of the write tests (or read tests IIRC) the github ones end up being quite important. Does anyone with more Jenkins wizardry than I know why they are failing and if it is due to any particular tests? Cheers, André/Lokal_Profil

Sysop login via OAuth
by Adam Klimont 29 Oct '16

29 Oct '16

Hello, In one of my scripts, I'm editing a few pages and one of them requires sysop privileges. Before OAuth, I was able to logout, then login as sysop and .save() the page ( https://gist.github.com/alkamid/639abbb05ff8e0d2842d0c9dbda1e2d0#file-addla…). Now I'm trying to implement the same with OAuth. Saving the protected page works fine, but later in the script, when saving another unprotected page (L190), I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/adam/wikt/pywikibot/core/pywikibot/page.py", line 1219, in _save watch=watch, bot=botflag, **kwargs) File "/home/adam/wikt/pywikibot/core/pywikibot/site.py", line 1325, in callee self.login(False) File "/home/adam/wikt/pywikibot/core/pywikibot/site.py", line 2077, in login 'right': self._username[sysop]}) pywikibot.exceptions.NoUsername: Logged in on wiktionary:pl via OAuth as Alkamid, but expect as AlkamidBot During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "addLang.py", line 197, in <module> main() File "addLang.py", line 190, in main page8.save(summary="Dodanie języka %s" % zjezyka) File "/home/adam/wikt/pywikibot/core/pywikibot/tools/__init__.py", line 1447, in wrapper return obj(*__args, **__kw) File "/home/adam/wikt/pywikibot/core/pywikibot/page.py", line 1208, in save cc=apply_cosmetic_changes, quiet=quiet, **kwargs) File "/home/adam/wikt/pywikibot/core/pywikibot/page.py", line 1234, in _save raise pywikibot.OtherPageSaveError(self, err) pywikibot.exceptions.OtherPageSaveError: Edit to page [[Moduł:statystyka/dane]] failed: Logged in on wiktionary:pl via OAuth as Alkamid, but expect as AlkamidBot <class 'pywikibot.exceptions.OtherPageSaveError'> CRITICAL: Closing network session.

Local image delinker bot
by MarcoAurelio 03 Oct '16

03 Oct '16

Hello, Does pywikibot in core have any script to remove links to deleted images locally? Something like CommonsDelinker, but for local use. I'm undertaking a major cleanup of files at Meta-Wiki, and I'm leaving a lot of red links which I'd prefer a bot could process. Thank you for your help. Best regards, M.

Hi, Is there any way to get the page coordinates when using PreloadingGenerator? From reading the code it doesn't look like it, but maybe I missed something. Thanks, Strainu
