Bug ID: 70447 Summary: movepages.py unable to login if no password.lwp is present 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: mpaa.wiki@gmail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---

After deleting password.lwp, it was unable to login with right username and rights. Move action then fails.

To recover, I tried replace.py, who asked for a password, and then movepages.py was OK again.

Looks like replace.py has superpowers compared to movepages.py
