[edit] Overview
| Step | Article |
|---|---|
| 1. Install python 2.5 or newer (but not 3.x, because pywikipediabot is still not updated to it!). 2.7.2 or higher is recommended.
2. Download pywikipedia. (code repository - nightly built release) |
Installation |
3. If there is not already a family file for your wiki in the pywikipediabot /families folder, create a family file and add it to the families folder. |
|
| 4. Run generate_user_files.py to generate user-config.py and user-fixes.py. | |
| 5. Run login.py. That's it, you can run category.py to manage categories, template.py to manage templates, add_text.py to add footers, replace.py to fix some stuff such as adding wikilinks, and a lot more. |
In summary users configure these three files:
- user-config.py #REQUIRED
- user-fixes.py
- yourWiki_family.py #REQUIRED
