TASK DESCRIPTION
There are many features of MediaWiki that are not directly supported in
#pywikibot-core.
A list of deployed extensions can be found at
[[
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Extensions_used_on_Wikimedia|Catego…
used on Wikimedia]]. Some of these extensions provide functionality which is
mission-critical to some of the projects, and is not yet able to be accessed via
Pywikibot.
Flow is new technology which is only deployed in trials, but it will be such a large
critical component that Pywikibot needs to commence implementation of it now in order to
be ready for when it is deployed. See T67119
Other examples:
* T85656 : Abuse Filter
* Liquid Threads
* T57081 : Flagged Revs
* Proofread Page
* Translate
* PageTriage
* Checkuser
* ULS
* Parsoid
However, before implementing functionality in pywikibot, it is important to gather
requirements for how it might be used in an automated manner, if available via pywikibot.
Project goals:
* Talk to the project communities to identify which tasks they could automate if
pywikibot supported additional components/extensions.
* Add support for large MediaWiki component/extension.
* Write a bot script which automates a task for a Wikimedia community.
* Skills: Python
* Suggested micro-task:
* Possible mentors: @jayvdb
