Bot running on ToolForge throws errors on pywikibot 8.0.3
by William Avery 16 Apr '23

16 Apr '23

Hi everyone, My bot has started throwing the following error, and I'm wondering if anyone has a clue about what might have changed. It's using the shared stable version on ToolForge, which I believe was updated to 8.0.3. today. TIA for any help. File "/data/project/william-avery-bot/wikipythonics/cleanseRefs.py", line 118, in treat_page self.current_page.editEntity(summary=summary) File "/data/project/shared/pywikibot/stable/pywikibot/page/_decorators.py", line 55, in wrapper handle(func, self, *args, **kwargs) File "/data/project/shared/pywikibot/stable/pywikibot/page/_decorators.py", line 34, in handle func(self, *args, **kwargs) File "/data/project/shared/pywikibot/stable/pywikibot/page/_wikibase.py", line 680, in editEntity super().editEntity(data, **kwargs) File "/data/project/shared/pywikibot/stable/pywikibot/page/_wikibase.py", line 313, in editEntity updates = self.repo.editEntity( File "/data/project/shared/pywikibot/stable/pywikibot/site/_decorators.py", line 92, in callee return fn(self, *args, **kwargs) File "/data/project/shared/pywikibot/stable/pywikibot/site/_datasite.py", line 311, in editEntity params['token'] = self.tokens['csrf'] File "/data/project/shared/pywikibot/stable/pywikibot/site/_tokenwallet.py", line 57, in __getitem__ raise KeyError( KeyError: "Invalid token 'csrf' for user 'William Avery Bot' on wikidata:wikidata wiki."

Training materials for Small wiki toolkits Pywikibot workshops
by Kamil Bach 13 Apr '23

13 Apr '23

Hello everyone, *Summary* The Developer Advocacy team is excited to share with you a new set of educational materials you can use to learn and teach others about Pywikibot [1]. These new materials are based on content originally presented as part of the Small wiki toolkits initiative [2]. Please read and share these materials, give feedback in Phabricator [3] or on Talk pages, or edit the pages directly if you find errors. This will help improve the materials for these workshops as well as workshops planned for the future. *Long version* Last year, the Small wiki toolkits initiative held monthly technical workshops about using, building, and hosting bots [4]. In response to feedback received from participants [5], this year the Developer Advocacy team launched an initiative (Phabricator task: [6]) to develop on-wiki learning and training materials based on the previous workshops. The goal of these materials is to make it easier for you to learn about Pywikibot and teach others in your community about it. Drafts for two workshops [7] are now ready for your review: - How to run basic scripts using Pywikibot - How to host a bot on Toolforge Materials for each workshop come in two formats: 1. Self-study guide - explains how to learn a given subject on your own - links to different resources on wikis and other sites without duplicating them. 2. Workshop organizer's handbook - teaches you how to teach the subject to others - explains how to prepare a workshop that you can run during a hackathon or a conference. If you've ever wanted to give a talk about Pywikibot but didn't have the time to design it, the handbook should help. *How to get involved* Please read the linked materials and provide feedback in Phabricator or on talk pages. Is this the right format for learners and trainers? Did we miss anything? Are there sections that are difficult to follow or make no sense? Please let us know. Your input will help inform the next steps for the development of the remaining materials. If you want to contribute any changes or corrections, you can do so either directly on the pages, or by leaving comments on talk pages or in Phabricator. Thank you for your help!

Limit cosmetic changes by a function or generator
by Bináris 02 Apr '23

02 Apr '23

Hi, I wrote a module which handles Flagged Revisions in huwiki. https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szerkeszt%C5%91:BinBot/huwiki/flaggedrevs.py It has a function called cosmeticable(page) to tell if a page is eligible for cosmetic changes according to huwiki rules. It also has a CosmeticableFilterPageGenerator which yields only cosmeticable pages. But it may not have a command-line argument as it is not in the framework. Now, what is the way to tell Pywikibot that cosmetic changes should be done only on pages where the function returns True or which are from this pagegenerator? I don't want to modify the core system on my device, because it will be disrupted when refreshing and is not distributable to other users. In eneral, is there a way to use own _global_ command-line arguments? -- Bináris
