Dear Pywikibot user, The Wikimedia Foundation recently [1] pushed MediaWiki 1.24wmf2 to all sites. This version contains a change [2] which causes two problems: - For compat, bots will edit as anonymous user; - For core, bots will ask for a password at each script invocation. This bug is tracked on Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64727 A change fixing this bug [3] has been merged, but it has not been deployed yet. This should happen tomorrow, Monday, May 05, 15:00–16:00 UTC [4,5]. In the meanwhile, we suggest to not use compat until the fixed MediaWiki version has been deployed. For core, you can work around this bug by creating a password file, as documented at [6]. Best regards, Merlijn and Maarten [1] MediaWiki.org, testwiki, test2wiki and testwikidatawiki on 24 April 2014; All non-Wikipedia sites on 29 April 2014; All Wikipedias on 1 May 2014 ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.24/Roadmap#Schedule_for_the_depl…) [2] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/94614/ [3] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/131056/ [4] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64727#c9 [5] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments [6] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Use_on_third-party_wikis#Bo…

Fwd: Next Bugday: ''Pywikibot'' ''20:00 Thursday, October 24, 2013 - Sunday, October 27 22:00'' UTC
by Amir Ladsgroup 20 Oct '13

20 Oct '13

Hello, Please join us on the next Wikimedia Bugday: 20:00 Thursday, October 24, 2013 - Sunday, October 27 22:00 UTC[1] in #pywikipediabot on Freenode IRC [2] We will be triaging bug reports pywikibot [3]. Pywikibot recently moved its code repository from SVN to Git and its bugtracker from SourceForge to Wikimedia Bugzilla. Now many older tickets need retesting and cleanup (around 700 bugs). We will be focusing on retesting, and we will comment on bug reports that need status updates, and have a good time working together on improving Pywikibot! Everyone is welcome to join, and no technical knowledge needed! It's an easy way to get involved in the community or to give something back. This even is part of a weekly QA activity [4], so we encourage you to triage throughout the week and record your activity on the bug day etherpad [5]. This information and more can be found here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Triage/20131024 For more information on triaging in general, check out https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Triage I look forward to seeing you there.

Updated mailing list settings to prevent unsolicited emails (was: "Pywikipedia announcement list, Nicolas left a message (...)"
by Merlijn van Deen 23 Feb '13

23 Feb '13

Hello all, I am terribly sorry for letting this mail slip through. Nicolas was on the 'automatically accept' filters list (together with Maarten (multichill), Siebrand and myself). An app he installed caused spam to be sent to all of his contacts - including this mailing list. I have now removed all four of us from that list, which means any e-mails sent to pywikipedia-announce will have to be explicitly OK'ed in the web interface. This should prevent any unsolicited e-mails in the future. Again, sorry for the inconvenience caused! Best, Merlijn van Deen (valhallasw)

[BUG NOTICE] interwiki.py removes content from pages, cause unknown
by Maarten Dammers 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Hello all, This is a notice to all active interwiki bot owners. Today, we have received two worrying bug reports of interwiki bots, removing content from pages: http://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Blankenbach&diff=prev&oldid=27331… http://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mettau%2C_Switzerland&action=… Unfortunately, it is not possible to reproduce this bug by running interwiki.py on the mentioned pages. As such, we have no idea what this problem was caused by. HiW-bot (nlwiki edit) was running r9558 at the time of the edit. We would like your help in tracing the cause of this bug. If possible, see if your bot has made any strange changes, and report them in the bug thread for this problem: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3414669&group_id=… This might be related to the MediaWiki 1.18 deploy, see http://blog.wikimedia.org/2011/09/16/mediawiki118iscomin/ for more information Thank you for your cooperation and understanding, The pywikipediabot developers

Translatewiki integration in the rewrite branch
by Merlijn van Deen 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

Hello everyone, During the Amsterdam Hackathon, we - siebrand, roberthl and myself - have been working on integrating TranslateWiki with pywikipedia. Yesterday I have committed most of the changes to the rewrite branch. On TranslateWiki, the translations have been online since friday. We already have had 160 contributions! At the moment, only replace.py uses TW translations. I will commit updated versions for category.py and interwiki.py today. Adapting a script to use TW takes about fifteen minutes. I will send an e-mail to pywikipedia-l on how to do this later today. Please note the changes will *not* be backported to trunk, as the changes are significant. To help people in switching to the rewrite (it's practically painless!), I will send (another) e-mail to pywikipedia-l on how to set it up. Best regards, Merlijn 'valhallasw' van Deen

[IMPORTANT] Pywikipedia mailing list changes
by Nicolas Dumazet 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hello! (Apologies for cross-posting) Following [1] the traffic of pywikipedia-l mailing-list has been split. Instead of a single mailing-list, we now have 4 different lists: === pywikipedia-announce [2] === This list will have a minimal traffic. It will only be used for important announcements, e.g. breaking changes. One mail a month, at most. We would like every pywikipedia user to subscribe to this list. === pywikipedia-l [3] === Human discussion on pywikipedia topic. This includes support, follow-ups to announcements, follow-ups to svn commits, and developer discussions. Moderate traffic, usually no more than a couple of mails a week in average. === pywikipedia-bugs [4] === Automated mails sent by bug trackers on each bug state change. Until now, these mails were sent to pywikipedia-l with the "[ pywikipediabot-*-* ]" title prefix. High traffic. Only users interested in pywikipedia development should subscribe. Sourceforge trackers have already been updated. === pywikipedia-svn [6] === One automated mail is sent to that list after each pywikipedia SVN commit. Until now, these mails were sent to pywikipedia-l with the "SVN: [xxxx]" title prefix. High traffic. Only users interested in pywikipedia development should subscribe. SVN commit hooks have already been updated. === In short === Splitting pywikipedia-l traffic, make sure to subscribe to pywikipedia-announce to receive important announcements. Follow-ups to pywikipedia-l please. Thanks =) -- Nicolas Dumazet — NicDumZ [ nɪk.d̪ymz ] [1] http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/pywikipedia-l/2009-January/005111.html [2] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikipedia-announce [3] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikipedia-l [4] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikipedia-bugs [5] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikipedia-svn
