Ok. I had added some dead links to the user page and was testing to see what it would do. Thank you!

Hi, all the examples are in the script help. You have to run it on a list of pages not just Your user page the bot will create a database of the links it thinks are dead. the bot will only report links as dead if they are found dead at least twice several days apart. Default is 7 days. So once You run it through the whole namespace You will have to wait some days to rerun it. You can set the rquired period with -day parameter but less than a week does not make sense as it will report dead link for a temporary problems with site

Hi all,
I'my trying to run weblinkchecker from my own computer. I've logged in to the bot account, but when I try to run weblink checker, like this:
python weblinkchecker.py UserPage:usernamegoeshere
I just get a very long bunch of help text on the screen "This bot is used for checking external links found at the wiki" etc. I don't know if I'm successfully running the script or not, and whether it's actually checking any links.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
