Hope I'm doing this right... First time using a mailing list... Anyway, So
I'm trying to make a bot for a third-party wiki,
https://sto.gamepedia.com/
I should probably mention that I've never actually made a bot before. So
I've generated my family and user-config files via the generate-family-file
and generate-user-files commands. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary during
these processes.
The problem I'm having is when I try to log in. Not only does it completely
ignore the fact that I've created a user-password file (I have set it up
in my user-config file as well), it also does not log in when I've entered
in my bot password manually. It says I've logged in successfully, but
whenever I try and do anything, it prompts me for my password as if I was
logged in.
I have a suspicion this is because of the convoluted process users have to
endure to log in to the wiki. When users try to log in via STOWiki, they
are redirected to Gamepedia to log in there. However, because Gamepedia
merged with Twitch, users have had to create a Twitch account in order to
log in to Gamepedia, and any existing Gamepedia accounts (including the one
I am using for the bot) have had to be merged with a Twitch account.
There's more information about the merge here
<https://gamepedia.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002719408-Gamepedia-and-Twitch-Merge-FAQ#Tools>
.
As if that wasn't complicated enough, there's an extra hoop bots have to
jump through involving setting up a bot password (which I have done), more
info on which can be found here
<https://help.gamepedia.com/Logging_in_to_third-party_tools>.
To sum up, I have absolutely no idea what I might be doing wrong or how to
fix it, and could really use some help.
Thanks in advance!
