Bug with broken

Please find my bug below: my bot is administrator on fr.b (I could suppress a page manually with its account), and when I launch "redirect.py double" it works perfectly.

However, with "both" or "broken", no deletion is possible: he can see the broken redirections list, but when I enter "y" or launch the script "-always" it passes to the next entry without any page suppression.

After an SVN update it works. JackPotte 15:56, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Bug with double

On this dictionary the bot couldn't find the destination page, probably because of the õ and/or ü into its name. JackPotte 04:20, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I was running redirect double, when I got this. I have no idea what it could be. I'running Version 9016 with ActivePython 2.7.1.4 Who can help me?

The file i18n.py is existing in the folder pywikibot, that fine. Thx a lot! --Plasmarelais 10:38, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Could you please check the folders update, for example with Tortoise in Windows (after the installation right click on the pywikipedia directory and SVN Update...)? JackPotte 12:53, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

OK; I downloaded the Tortoise, installed, right click on the pywikipedia folder. It works! Thank you veryvery much, but I do not really know, what the turtle did? Just an update of the framework? I had the latest version yesterday o_O But thanks! --Plasmarelais 11:59, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

$wgCapitalLinks = false;

In my setting, I had $wgCapitalLinks = false; and about a hundred double redirection from something like "Article abc" to "Page abc" to "abc". How to make the redirect.py case sensitive, or if I can't do that, what code should I change so that I can fix those double redirects? Bennylin 14:15, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
