Re: [Pywikipedia-l] setting my custom bot for my ncdb wiki
by John 25 Dec '10

Ok, your site is messed up. I am attaching a working family file, but other than logining in it cant do anything else. When I tried to login using a web browser I keep getting redirected to http://nintendo-cartridges-database.the-chronicles/forums/login.php which is not a valid page, there is nothing I can do for you until you straighten out the mess that you have setup for mediawiki

Help required setting up archivebot.py on a new wiki
by Nathaniel 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Please pardon the interruption. I'm attempting to set up automatic archiving on a new wiki, but have not had success. I've documented the process I followed and the contents of relevant files at http://wiki.mises.org/wiki/User:Forgottenman/sandbox. If you can help or need additional information, feel free to contact me directly at forgottenman(a)mises.com or [[User talk:Forgottenman]] on that wiki (no registration required). Thanks, --N

Re: [Pywikipedia-l] [Pywikipedia-svn] SVN: [8785] trunk/pywikipedia

Hello all, I'd just like to note that I'm really not happy with this: On 21 December 2010 01:11, <valhallasw(a)svn.wikimedia.org> wrote: > Follow-up to r8784: introducing iwkeys > > The changes by purodha seem to have some more side effects due to tight > coupling inside the library code.

Combined with a lack of automated testing, making large -or even small- changes in framework code is dangerous, to say the least. Especially since the code *will* be used throughout wikipedia, possibly causing botwars and an enormous mess. As such, I would like to suggest - *strongly* suggest - not to implement new features into trunk any more. The much cleaner rewrite should be the place to put these features. This means only bugfixes and family/language updates should go into trunk. Comments welcome. Best regards, Merlijn

user_config: family = 'wikipedia' interwiki.py since rev8762 and later does not accept -hint, -askhints, -hintfile options. For example command string: interwiki.py -lang:de Benutzer:Jackie -hint:en:User:Jackie -confirm put result: Getting 1 pages from wikipedia:de... NOTE: [[de:Benutzer:Jackie]] does not have any interwiki links ======Post-processing [[de:Benutzer:Jackie]]====== No changes needed on page [[de:Benutzer:Jackie]]

Failure to login to a new mediawiki setup
by Kjartan Hauksson 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

Hello I recently set up debian (squeeze) and installed mediawiki package (1:1.15.5-1) on a brand new server. The previous mediawiki server ran just fine but after redirecting the dns entry for my wiki site to the new server I tried to login only to have it fail on me. # python login.py -v -pass:thewikiuserpassword Pywikipediabot nightly:pywikipedia (r7206, 2009/09/03, 16:56:11) Python 2.6.3 (r263:75183, Oct 4 2009, 14:29:19) [C] Logging in to wikios:wikios as wikios Note: this language does not allow global bots. Login failed. Wrong password or CAPTCHA answer? Is there a setting on my new wiki site that I need to enable to allow for global bots or is there perhaps something else that is going on ? TIA -Kjartan

Duplicate iws
by Bináris 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Kamikazebot put interwikilinks on a community page that has its iws on a header subpage, transcluded as a template. Should it recognize the subpage? I think it must be implemented because many pages use this technics. http://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikip%C3%A9dia:Kocsmafal_%28helye… -- Bináris
