Bug ID: 69134 Summary: delete attempts to recreate deleted page, and fails Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: General Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: jayvdb@gmail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---

If the page is deleted and the bot doesnt have a sysop account, delete.py attempts to recreate it by marking it for deletion.

Without sysop account:

$ python pwb.py delete -page:'Test page' Enter a reason for the deletion: It already is deleted Processing page Test page Can't delete [[en:Test page]]; do you want to mark it for deletion instead?
