Category: interwiki Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 8 Private: No Submitted By: Tanvir Rahman (tanvirglhs) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Interwiki.py is replacing texts
Initial Comment: Hello, few days ago, my interwiki bot was malfunctioning 1/2 days ago. It was replacing words of the main article, what interwiki.py does not suppose to do. After I got informed about that problems, I stopped it, and re-installed Pywikipedia, and started everything over. As far as I know, that's not happening again now, but I still curious to know why was that happening in case of few edits. Since I don't know the cause, so I don't have the clue how to solve it in future.
The problematic diffs are as follows:
1. http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/?&diff=2826459&oldid=2826454 2. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/?&diff=prev&oldid=86257583 3. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/?&diff=prev&oldid=86259285 4. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/?&diff=prev&oldid=86258895 5. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/?&diff=prev&oldid=86259821
Here is the copy of my current version.py. The actual Pywikipedia version was a few revisions earlier.
Pywikipedia [http] trunk/pywikipedia (r9042, 2011/03/13, 10:14:47) Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jan 4 2011, 13:57:14) [GCC 4.5.2] config-settings: use_api = True use_api_login = True unicode test: ok

Message: Same problem:
* http://nds-nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=182567&oldid=181429 * http://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=32635182&oldid=32613311 * http://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=32634369&oldid=32072584 (edit's comment does not correspond to action. 2 lines were removed by cosmetic_changes.py) * http://nds-nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=182568&oldid=181967
All of these edits have 2 common points: 1) Date - 9-th or 10-th of March 2) Every edit changes some symbols to others by it's code shifting. For example (here - http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/?diff=2826459&oldid=2826454): l (U+006C) -> h (U+0068) s (U+0073) -> w (U+0077) r (U+0072) -> v (U+0076) And everytime the new symbol is greater or lesser than old exactly of 4.
My current version (not the version when problem happened, of cource): Pywikipedia [http] trunk/pywikipedia (r9086, 2011/03/17, 14:20:21) Python 2.6.4 (r264:75708, Oct 26 2009, 08:23:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] config-settings: use_api = True use_api_login = True unicode test: ok
