Originally from: http://sourceforge.net/p/pywikipediabot/feature-requests/137/ Reported by: vargenau Created on: 2008-03-11 16:29:50 Subject: Add a new option to interwiki.py Assigned to: purodha Original description: Hello,
When working on years or birth categories for instance, I give a huge number of hints.
And I now these hint are right (when they exist).
If there is a wrong link somewhere (e.g. en:category:2000_deaths linking to fr:category:naissance_en_2000), I get a huge number of questions to which I always answer "1" (because the hint is proposed first).
So I propose to create a new option "-hintisright" (or something).
In that case, if there is a conflict between a hint and other page(s), the hint is selected automatically.

--- Comment #1 from Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) legoktm.wikipedia@gmail.com --- Hint: You can also solve the problem by inserting all the hints in the starting page, and use the -localright parameter. If you are uncertain that you got all, use -confirm and you will be able to interrupt the bot when it comes accross a missing link which it tries to delete.

--- Comment #3 from Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) legoktm.wikipedia@gmail.com --- Hello,
Thank you for your comment. But I do not think the -localright parameter does what I need. I do not want to modify the local page because I do not want to add links that do not exist (yet). I am 100% sure the hint "fr:category:décès_en_2000" (for "en:category:2000_deaths") is right if it exists, but it might not exist yet.
Since the code for -localright exists, maybe the code for -hintisright can be easily implemented.
Best regards,

--- Comment #4 from Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) legoktm.wikipedia@gmail.com --- I gave it a try with -hintsareright
If used, and a hint to an existing page is given, any interlanguage links to the site of that hint are ignored, and a note "extra interwiki on hinted site ignored" with the appropriate names is output to the console. Hints can be given on the command line, in a file, etc. and interactively. Before interactive hints are knows, i.e. concerning links in the starting page, -hintsareright has no effect.
It also does not work on hints to sites where there are no pages found. If you need that, it is an extra feature which, I believe, is a bit more complicated to implement.
Not using -hintsareright should not make a difference to what we had before, so I just submitted the change to svn as r 6341 for you to try it out. Let me know if it fits your needs. If so, this bug can be closed.

--- Comment #6 from Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) legoktm.wikipedia@gmail.com --- Hello,
Thank you for your interest in my proposal.
I have done some testing.
Your option does not do what I expected.
Here is a real-world example. I want to update the interwikis for year 15. So I do something like: python interwiki.py -lang:pt -noredirect 15 \ -hint:aa,ab,af,an,ang,ar,arc,arz,ast,av,ay,az,ba,bat-smg,bcl,be,be-x-old,bg,br,bs,bug,bxr,ca,cbk-zam,ceb,chr,co,cr,crh,cs,csb,cv,cy \ -hint:da,de,diq,dsb,dv,ee,el,en,eo,es,et,eu,ext,fi,fiu-vro,fo,fr,frp,fur,fy,ga,gd,gl,glk,gn,got,gu,gv,haw,he,hi,hif,hsb,hu,hy \ -hint:ia,id,ie,ig,ilo,io,is,it,iu,jv,ka,kab,kg,kk,ks,ku,kw,ky,la,lb,li,lij,lmo,ln,lo,lv,map-bms,mdf,mg,mi,mk,ml,mn,ms,mt,mzn \ -hint:na,nah,nap,nds,nds-nl,nl,nn,no,nov,nrm,nv,ny,oc,om,os,pa,pag,pam,pap,pdc,pih,pl,pms,pt,qu,rm,rmy,ro,roa-rup \ -hint:sa,sc,scn,sco,sd,se,sg,sh,si,simple,sk,sl,sm,so,sq,sr,ss,stq,su,sv,sw,szl,ta,te,tet,tg,tk,tl,tpi,tr,tt,ty,uk,uz \ -hint:vec,vi,vls,vo,wa,war,yi,yo,zea,zu
(plus some other hints I did not include for simplicity).
The page ty:15 contains wrong interwiki rights, they point to year 14.
So I am asked to answer I huge number of questions, e.g. between no:14 and no:15
With the new option, I expected that the link no:14 is ignored since no:15 was provided as a hint and it exists.
Is that more clear?
Best regards,
Marc-Etienne
