Bug ID: 61555
Summary: Check for new messages on wiki during bot run
Product: Pywikibot
Version: core (2.0)
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Reporter: valhallasw(a)arctus.nl

Mobile Platform: ---
At the moment (at least for core, and probably also for compat), new messages
are only seen if the bot is restarted. For long-running bots, it's sensible to
break/pause/stop editing on a certain wiki when a talk page is edited.
Getting the info from the wiki is easy -- just add meta=userinfo&uiprop=hasmsg
to the api query. Afterwards, meta=notifications can be used for details.
Added bonus: every api query returns a check whether the user is still logged
in correctly.
