Bug ID: 73545 Summary: Support Portuguese wiki flag 'eliminator' 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: ---
On Portuguese wikis, users/bots may have the eliminator flag and not sysop flag, to perform deletions.
Page.delete requires a sysop account.
Workaround is to use:
site.deletepage(page, u'reason', as_group='user')

--- Comment #1 from John Mark Vandenberg jayvdb@gmail.com --- A possible workaround is to add put the eliminator username in user-config's sysopnames
