No worries,
I do software dev for a living. It's all local and no one is checking in
credentials. But that wasn't really the question here.

address the general issue
of putting credentials in config files.
Be very wary of how you store credentials. You should make sure
they're in a file which is read-protected, and not in source control.
Otherwise the entire world will have access to your secret credentials.

Hi list,
I operate currently a bot on the German Wikisource. The bot was
granted both groups, admin and bot. It is intended to be used as
automated protection bot. I'm having trouble to put the right
credentials in my user-config.py.
It is currently coded like following pseudo-code:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
family = 'wikisource'
mylang = 'de'
usernames['wikisource']['de'] = '******'
authenticate['de.wikisource.org <http://de.wikisource.org>'] =
(....*****.....)
the problem with this is that the framework only detect my bot as bot
not as sysadmin. Groups taken from the debugging output: ['bot', '*',
'user', 'autoconfirmed']
What do I have to add to my config, that the bot also get picket up
as sysadmin? I already read
(
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/user-config.py) but
doesn't make sense for me. It will not change anything if add the
botname a second time to the usernames dictionary.
Best Regards
Erik Sommer
