Hi All,

I'm new to Pywikibot (and Mediawiki as well). I've used the instructions on [0] to install pywikibot on my Windows laptop accessing a Linux server. All seems to be connected right (I'm successfully through step 9 and can login). The next step is to run add_text to change text on some pages. Here I get an error:

C:\Users\Owner\pywikibot>python pwb.py add_text.py -cat:Testing -text:"Testing the add_text script using the Pywikibot user." -except:"\{\{([Tt]emplate:|)[Dd]ocumentation [Ss]ubpage" -up

Traceback (most recent call last):

I've verified the Category name exists and is spelled correctly. Not sure what to try next to figure this out. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

P.S. Also, is there a way to search the archives of the mail list? I'm guessing this has been answered before.
