Hello Morten,
The nobots-feature was designed by enwiki originally, so if their
documentation states it should be {{bots|allow=...}} and the pywikipedia
code does this - I think it's the way it should be ;-).
However, it might be an idea to check how many people are using the
{{nobots|allow=}} syntax. If this is a common error, we might want to
consider updating the code (and enwiki docs!) to make this work.
Best,
Merlijn

Hi,
I've noticed botMayEdit() doesn't check for a whitelist if the template
used is {{nobots}}, instead it always returns False. Is that a bug or a
feature? From reading the documentation on en:Template:Bots, it seems that
{{nobots|allow=FooBot}} isn't actually a supported way of using the template
(instead it should be {{bots|allow=FooBot}}) so pywikibot is doing it right.
Still, I just wanted to check before I go fiddling with the template on
somebody's talk page (again) :)
Cheers,
Morten
