[Pywikipedia-l] [Pywikipedia-svn] SVN: [6962]trunk/pywikipedia/family.py

[Siebrand Mazeland]

No, it was a manual update, based on greps from the point Wikimedia was using. Took me about an hour.

Do you use some kind of automated tool to do this?

I know that this is painful, but I would rather *not* update automatically redirects basing ourselves on SVN.
The WMF wikis use different settings, and inserting wrong redirects is much, much, much more troublesome than not detecting some magic words.

(yes, you could say that magic words should get overriden in wikipedia_family to fit WMF configuration, but the fact is that after this commit, pywp is broken on WMF wikis :) )

I'll revert this massively for now, hoping for a nicer solution, because I can't manually test all redirect keywords.
