Bug ID: 63800 Summary: Page generators not working with Wikidata Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: Unprioritized Component: pagegenerators Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: sofardamngood@reallymymail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---

Pegegenerator has been broken for Wikidata scripts like harvest_template or claimit since February. The diff http://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcore.git/b9ddecb363a1c208b507dbfe5... is the last working version.

A command like python pwb.py claimit -family:wikipedia -lang:en -transcludes:'Infobox video game' P19 Q30 is supposed to create a generator with pages transcluding the template on the given Wikipedia, but the current version of pagegenerators ignores the arguments and tries to fetch the pages from wikidatawiki instead, which of course fails.
