(Now posting as member.)

I am new at running pywikipedia bots and running an update bot with the same structure/calls as in the script at:

http://ontoworld.org/wiki/Ontology_import#Alternative_import

The problem is that when I run the bot NO new page is created;

I have tested that the bot user/password works in the wiki.

Questions:

• Is there some other configuration setting which needs to be set ot

allow bots to make updates to the wiki?

• What other troubleshooting can I do to find out why this isn't

working?

Thanks in advance for your help.

The trace of this script is:

Checked for running processes. 2 processes currently running, including the current process. clone:en BOT ALLOWED? True cloneBot password Creating Works {{Tools-Models |Description=3D model building tool

}} Getting a page to check if we're logged in on clone:en Password for user cloneBot on clone:en: Warning: Problem with getpass. Passwords may be echoed. password Logging in to clone:en as cloneBot Should be logged in now Sleeping for 3.5 seconds, 2007-10-17 14:32:44 Creating page [[en:Works]] Pages that already exist; no overwrite. []

By the way:

There is an apparent code error in wikipedia.py at line, which I changed as follows:

## predata.append(("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded")) ## predata.append(("User-agent", useragent)) ## Mod by DHJ predata["Content-type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" predata["User-agent"] = useragent

This is somewhat suspicious that this error hasn't been found yet, if it part of the normal update process.
