skip to next occurrence in a page?
by Chris Watkins 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

I'm using replace.py to create wikilinks. Usually I want to select only the first occurrence of the search string, and my command works fine for this. But sometimes, the first hit is not suitable (e.g. it's part of a book or course title, so I don't want to add the wikilink). If I choose n for no, the bot goes to the next page. Is there a way I can skip to the next occurrence in the same page? I'm guessing it will need a modified version of replace.py, so that it gives an extra option besides ([y]es, [N]o, [e]dit, open in [b]rowser, [a]ll, [q]uit) The actual command I'm using is: python replace.py -regex "(?si)\b((?:FOO1|FOO2))\b(.*$) " "[[\\1]]\\2" -exceptinsidetag:link -exceptinsidetag:hyperlink -exceptinsidetag:header -exceptinsidetag:nowiki -exceptinsidetag:ref -excepttext:"(?si)\[\[((?:FOO1|FOO2)[\|\]])" -namespace:0 -namespace:102 -namespace:4 -summary:"[[Appropedia:Wikilink bot]] adding double square brackets to: FOO1|FOO2." -log -xml:currentdump.xml Many thanks! -- Chris Watkins Appropedia.org - Sharing knowledge to build rich, sustainable lives. blogs.appropedia.org identi.ca/appropedia twitter.com/appropedia

Bot is blocked? while it is not blocked
by Patrol110 19 Dec '09

I have used pywikipedia at pl.wikipedia with my bot account. Everything was ok till today I updated my pywiki and during use of pywiki I got something like this: WARNING: Your account on wikipedia:pl is blocked. Editing using this account will stop the run. Traceback (most recent call last): File "replace.py", line 719, in <module> main() File "replace.py", line 714, in main bot.run() File "replace.py", line 438, in run page.put(new_text, self.editSummary) File "/usr/home/patrol110/pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 1599, in put self.site().checkBlocks(sysop = sysop) File "/usr/home/patrol110/pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 5467, in checkBlocks raise UserBlocked('User is blocked in site %s' % self) wikipedia.UserBlocked: User is blocked in site wikipedia:pl And this is not true information because my bot is not blocked. Please help me solve this problem. Thanks in advance. Regards, Patrol110

Appallingly Slow
by ObsessiveMathsFreak 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

I have recently begun using pywikipediabot again and for some reason it is appallingly slow. Logging into my wiki take upwards of a minute and each and ever single action, e.g. pages moves, takes about this length of time as well. My wiki is otherwise quite quick and previously pywikipediabot was reasonably fast. Has anyone else encountered issues like this? What could be causing these huge delays?

Need help with page histories
by Bináris 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Hi, I have modified the get.py modul of the pywikibot. The purpose is to display the date of creation of the article. I guessed from wikipedia.py that I need either page.getVersionHistory(), which is a list, or page.getVersionHistoryTable(), which gives the history as a wikitable. Now it seems to work, but sometimes it gives back a shorter page history, than the real one, and, unfortunately, sometimes both methods give an empty page history, and thus en error in the program flow. Here are some concerned pages: [[hu:Ehrenfeld Samu]] (http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehrenfeld_Saul) and [[hu:TCSEC]] (http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCSEC) seems to have a completely empty page history, which is not true and results in an error. (Theoretically, no article could exist with an empty history.) [[hu:Mark VII]] (http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_VII) displays only one line, just as it had a single-edit history. Where is the mistake? I attach proba.py which is the modified version of get.py. I hope you will not take my head for that, it's very small. :-) The Hungarian comments are not relevant, the essence is written here. An article can be given as a command line parameter. Thanks! -- Bináris
