Automatic generation of templates descriptions
by Yury Katkov 14 Apr '13

14 Apr '13

Hello! Is there a bot or extension that can generate stubs of template descriptions by template wikitext? It should be pretty simple: the bot will just grab all template parameters {{{PARAMETER}}} and lists those parameters. If no such extensions exists could anybody tell how to programaticaly get the parameters of a given template? Sincerely yours, ----- Yury Katkov

Problems with pageimport.py on 3rd party wiki
by Gregory Varnum 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

Having problems with pageimport.py on a third-party wiki (WikiQueer). Anyone else having issues with that script? I'm calling it from a script I'm playing around with - but no luck. It doesn't error out - but it doesn't import and confirms that the import failed. Here's the "test" script I'm working from: import wikipedia as pywikibot from pageimport import * def main(): wanted_category_title = "Apple" enwiki_site = pywikibot.getSite() importerbot = Importer(enwiki_site) # Inizializing importerbot.Import(wanted_category_title,project='wikipedia', prompt = True) try: main() finally: pywikibot.stopme() On a related note, the ultimate goal is to import pages for "Wanted Categories" from English Wikipedia into the third-party wiki. Any ideas, tips or existing code to that end would also be appreciated. Thanks! -greg aka varnent ------- Gregory Varnum Lead, Aequalitas Project Lead Administrator, WikiQueer Founding Principal, VarnEnt @GregVarnum fb.com/GregVarnum

Pywikibot code contribution
by Hannes Röst 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Dear all I have posted to this mailing list in January with a library that I wanted to contribute to the codebase. This is part of an effort on my side to refactor code that accumulated over various bot-operator tasks and make it available to the community. The main part of the code deals with spellchecking using hunspell (http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/) instead of the list-based approach currently used in spellcheck.py. The second part is an interactive robot to do revision control (Sichten) in the german wikipedia. There are some api functions that use the "undo" functions of the action=edit command and an api function that uses the action=review command. So I wanted to ask whether somebody had time to have a look at the code I submitted here http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3479070&group_id=93107&atid… (I uploaded a new file "(moved testSamples)" please us this to test, the other one seems corrupt and cannot be deleted any more as well). Thus, is there a code-review process that I can undergo or what do you suggest is the best way to get the code into trunk (if at all?). Would it be easier if I talked directly to one of you? What are the criteria to get SVN commit access -- I was just wondering what the general rules are. Greetings Hannes

Hello, This is my first post to this list. Apologies if this issue has been already discussed & also for my bad English. I wonder if it is possible to make the bot edit through the https server instead of the normal one and how that can be done. Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards, M. -- - Marco Aurelio
