Hello,
I'm currently in the last stages of finishing a bot that will make templates, userpages, talkpages on all Wikimedia wikis, this is done by the Wikimedia API but I have a problem now and kind of need advice.
The bot will do the following:
bs.wiktionary.org User:GlobalEditBot --> check if the page exist creating (+244). --> creating the page Watchlist added --> Adding it to my watchlist Retrieving watchlist for wiktionary:bs --> confirming its on it.
And it trows back this error:
Creating page [[wiktionary:bs:Korisnik:GlobalEditBot]] via API Unknown Error. API Error code:ratelimited Information:You've exceeded your rate limit. Please wait some time and try again
What is the policy by Wikimedia for the API use, how much delay should I use between the wiki's? Currently its 3 sec between every wiki's but that makes me hit the limit. What is the adviced time?
Best,
Dirt Diver
