python styling (pep8/pyflakes)
by Antoine Musso 03 Nov '13

03 Nov '13

Hello there! At first, I am really happy to see the pywikipedia framework is still alive and very active. As you may have noticed, whenever a change is send to Gerrit that triggers Jenkins jobs that run the code style utilities pep8 and pyflakes. It seems your code is not passing the style checks so whenever they fail it is not going to prevent you from merging the code. I am not sure how your community likes pep8/pyflakes. But I think it would be nice to have the code repositories to pass those tests and enforce authors to follow them. You can still have some pep8 checks ignored such as the "line too long". The questions are: Is there any interest in making your repositories pep8 compliants? If so, is there anything I can do to help? :-] -- Antoine "hashar" Musso

Google Code-in: are you in?
by Quim Gil 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

Google Code-In is a contest to introduce pre-university students (ages 13-17) to the many kinds of contributions that make open source software development possible. Students must complete tasks (see examples), one at a time. The Google Code-in 2013 contest runs from November 18, 2013 to January 6, 2014. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-In PyWikibot could be a great project for this program, under the Wikimedia umbrella. A relatively isolated environment, Python language, plenty of little bugs and enhancement requests in Bugzilla, potential for improvements in documentation and tutorials, a vibrant community including many potential mentors... What do you think? We are currently preparing the proposal to apply by Oct 28, next Monday. If you can add at least 5 tasks to the wiki page linked above then you will be ready for the next level - if we are one of the organizations selected on November 1. If you have questions just ask, here or at the related talk page. -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil

Guide for migration from SVN to Git update
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 31 Oct '13

31 Oct '13

Hello, I'm a bit lost. I've checked http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/pywikipedia-announce/ and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikipediabot , including some unobvious subpages, but I can't find any guide on how to convert my pywikipedia checkout from SVN to Git updating. I found the brand-new checkout instructions on the wiki and endless discussions in this mailing list, but nothing of use for me. Nemo

Cleaning up a spammed wiki
by Chris Watkins 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

I'm hoping for a tool to help clean up a spammed wiki. (We are merging with Ekopedia, and en.ekopedia.org has more spam than genuine pages.) Has anyone created such a script? If not, then the way I imagine it is: * Find pages with exactly one editor and at least one link * Display title, a chunk of text and the link(s) * Offer to delete the page. A few years I asked about finding pages with one editor and received some good suggestions (but ended up using AbuseFilter instead). Bináris suggested an editor list and requiring that len(editorlist)==1 http://osdir.com/ml/python-pywikipediabot-general/2012-03/msg00015.html Merlijn suggested a database query - I don't know where to start with that. http://osdir.com/ml/python-pywikipediabot-general/2012-03/msg00031.html I have learnt since very basic python since then... Thanks

Next Bugday: ''Pywikibot'' ''20:00 Thursday, October 24, 2013 - Sunday, October 27 22:00'' UTC
by Amir Ladsgroup 20 Oct '13

20 Oct '13

Hello, Please join us on the next Wikimedia Bugday: 20:00 Thursday, October 24, 2013 - Sunday, October 27 22:00 UTC[1] in #pywikipediabot on Freenode IRC [2] We will be triaging bug reports pywikibot [3]. Pywikibot recently moved its code repository from SVN to Git and its bugtracker from SourceForge to Wikimedia Bugzilla. Now many older tickets need retesting and cleanup (around 700 bugs). We will be focusing on retesting, and we will comment on bug reports that need status updates, and have a good time working together on improving Pywikibot! Everyone is welcome to join, and no technical knowledge needed! It's an easy way to get involved in the community or to give something back. This even is part of a weekly QA activity [4], so we encourage you to triage throughout the week and record your activity on the bug day etherpad [5]. This information and more can be found here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Triage/20131024 For more information on triaging in general, check out https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Triage I look forward to seeing you there. Amir on behalf of Pywikibot developers [1] Timezone converter: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html [2] See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC for more info on IRC chat [3] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Triage/20131024 [4] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/QA/Weekly_goals [5] http://etherpad.wmflabs.org/pad/p/BugTriage
