Manual talk:Pywikibot/listpages.py

done; thanks.

No call to reference '(*)' found in the description of first option format

(*) requires that "<tvar|outputlang>-outputlang:</>lang" is set.

obsolète ?

See the first revision Special:Diff/1684508.

ok, so markup is wrong. The star is only related to option 7. And num is for all values of the option.

        7 - u'{num:4d} {page.loc_title:<40} {page.trs_title:<40}'
            --> 10 localised_Namespace:PageTitle outputlang_Namespace:PageTitle
            (*) requires "outputlang:lang" set.

        num is the sequential number of the listed page.

I would like to get content of deleted pages using a bot. Can this script do this? If not, is there any way I can do this?

Thank you.

Users with admin rights on your wiki can do this. If you are not, ask them. If you are, then Special:Undelete page is there for this purpose

I am an admin on the particular wiki, but I want to get the content of multiple deleted pages at the same time, automatically.

I think that for normal pages, the 'get' parameter gets the content/text of a page/pages. Is there a way to get the content/text for deleted pages automatically?

Maybe try to ask on some more frequent place, like Manual talk:Pywikibot.

I wanted a list of all entries in wt:Category:Danish verbs that end in "s". I navigated to ...\pywikibot\core_stable and typed

py pwb.py listpages -titleregex:'.{2,}s' -cat:Danish verbs

the entries I do get are neither in the category nor end with "s". I got two warnings:

...\data\api.py:282: UserWarning: Unexpected overlap between action and query submodules: frozenset({'readinglists'})

...\family.py:930: FamilyMaintenanceWarning: Family name wikimediachapter does not match family module name wikimedia

I am quite able to use replace.py ([https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=User:Gamren&diff=48437681&oldid=48400609]). Please tell me if more information is needed.

How about this:

listpages -titleregex:"s$" -cat:"Danish verbs"

Do not forget quotes. For other messages, I don't know.

PS. You may need to add -ns:0 to filter only main namespace.

Thank you for answering. That did succeed in filtering out entries that don't end in "s", but it still doesn't care about the category. I tried both with and without quotes around "Danish verbs".__~~~~

Did you set family to wiktionary and lang to en yet? (or mylang in user-config.py) I tried my answer on PAWS and it had no problem.

Yes I did, and the articles I was given were from en.wikt.__~~~~

You may want to try on this: https://paws.wmflabs.org

After log in then make a new terminal. You can start command with pwb.py.

In my opinion, your pywikibot may be out of date, or misconfigured.

Sorry for a stupid question, but how do I export the list into a .txt file?

Append your command with

> somefile.txt

This is common syntax to export output buffer to a file.

This works in Linux, but not in Windows.

Windows works too. Try it.

'python scriptname.py -parameters > file.txt' give error. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T142021#2528747

Do you give arguments enough as it needs? See mine: https://postimg.org/image/k0nimij2t/

^ It was going to work. I think you have issue with Unicode instead. 😅

I have the same problem as mentioned above, I thought I am doing sth wrong... The problem is probably in Unicode or something, a friend of mine discusses this in a python forum, we'll se :)

I tried change codepage of console via 'chcp 65001' and 'chcp 1252'. The console, the script, and script out is good understand utf-8. (Like python pwb.py listpages -subcatsr:"Категория:Родившиеся в IX веке".) Python good open|write file|console on utf-8. The error is only when python redirect stdout to file in Windows.
