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.

Here is the copy of my current version.py. The actual Pywikipedia version was a few
revisions earlier.

Also, I think that it is possible to write some script which can check
bot's edits and compare with it's description in comment. In almost every
of founded cases there clear mismatch between edit and it's description.

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)454):
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)
