Hierarchy of script description pages
[edit]Any objection to putting the script description pages under Pywikipediabot/Scripts/
instead of directly under Pywikipediabot/
? I think it would be more intuitive, especially with the automatic breadcrumb trail ("< Pywikipediabot < Scripts"). âLarryGilbert 18:25, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
- Hmm, I can see a certain logic behind doing it either way. Notice that on MediaWiki.org, we have mw:Manual:$wgTitle rather than mw:Manual:Globals/$wgTitle, but on the other hand we have mw:Manual:Hooks/ArticleSaveComplete rather than mw:Manual:ArticleSaveComplete. Because each script file ends in .py (much as the globals start with $), those pages' purpose is probably self-evident, and therefore we can leave them where they are.

What's the deal with the commented out stuff?
[edit]Are those scripts that it would be inadvisable to use? Tisane 22:06, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
- Just missing from the list, now should be ok. --Dvorapa (talk) 13:05, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
Uploadmultiple.py
[edit]Shouldn't this script be taken off the page? It's not included in the framework as its page says. And anyway it's not working. --Plasmarelais 10:19, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
- Moreover, Commonist is enough when we know the files names. JackPotte 10:23, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
Note that the above conversation may have been edited or added to since the transfer. If in doubt, check the edit history.
- I never seen that script. I removed it now. Xqt (talk) 17:30, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
Pageimport.py
[edit]The documentation of this script isn't here, and doesn't work on Wikibooks:
This is a script to import pages from a certain wiki to another.
This requires administrator privileges.
Here there is an example of how to use it:
from pageimport import *
def main():
# Defing what page to load..
pagetoload = 'Apple'
site = wikipedia.getSite()
importerbot = Importer(site) # Inizializing
importerbot.Import(pagetoload, prompt = True)
try:
main()
finally:
wikipedia.stopme()
When I try it to import an existing page from en.b to fr.b, this script (without project=) writes "success" but does nothing:
from wikipedia import *
from pageimport import *
def main():
# Defing what page to load..
pagetoload = 'en:Ict@innovation: Free your IT Business in Africa/fr/1'
site = wikipedia.getSite(u'fr',u'wikibooks')
importerbot = Importer(site) # Inizializing
importerbot.Import(pagetoload, prompt = True)
try:
main()
finally:
wikipedia.stopme()
And this one (with project=) returns "failed":
from wikipedia import *
from pageimport import *
def main():
# Defing what page to load..
pagetoload = 'Ict@innovation: Free your IT Business in Africa/fr/1'
site = wikipedia.getSite(u'fr',u'wikibooks')
importerbot = Importer(site) # Inizializing
importerbot.Import(pagetoload, prompt = True, project = u'en')
try:
main()
finally:
wikipedia.stopme()

Hello world?
[edit]Is there a "Hello world!" script?
I cooked one and it worked:
import pywikibot site = pywikibot.Site() page = pywikibot.Page(site, u"Sandbox") text = page.text page.text = u"Hello world!" page.save(u"My bot's first edit!")
The above replaces the text of the page Sandbox with "Hello world!". Haribo (talk) 05:54, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- Look on
scripts/basic.py

New files without fonts
[edit]I would like a script to search in "special: NewFiles" articles that have no reference (<ref>, <ref name=> {{references}}, {{reflist}}, <references />, == References ==, == bibliography ==)
Purpose: Create a list on my user page to add the default without fonts
Is the regular expression correct to find and replace? "<ref>"? ^ * \ <* ref * \> -------> \ n {{Unreferenced}}. Elilopes (talk) 17:25, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
