Manual talk:Pywikipediabot/user-config.py

The following discussion has been transferred from Meta-Wiki.
Any user names refer to users of that site, who are not necessarily users of MediaWiki.org (even if they share the same username).

Wouldn't this be better off at MediaWiki wiki? –Juliancolton | ^Talk 21:02, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Not at the moment, while there is no namespace for third-party tools on mediawiki.org.

A report would be needed to ask for opening of [[Bot: namespace. (don't know if it exists already)

On mediawikiwiki, content about bots is limited to mw:help:bots (&API). --Al Maghi 21:21, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Problem in my family file

I figured it out:

# -*- coding: utf-8  -*-

import family

# The official Beta Wiki.
class Family(family.Family):

    def __init__(self):

        family.Family.__init__(self)
        self.name = 'dead' #Set the family name; this should be the same as in the filename.

        self.langs = {
            'en': 'www.dead-wiki.com', #Put the hostname here.
        }

    def version(self, code):
        return "1.6.10"  #The MediaWiki version used. Not very important in most cases.

    def scriptpath(self, code):
        return '/w/index.php' #The value of {{SCRIPTPATH}} on this wiki

    def apipath(self, code):
        return '/w/api.php' #The path of api.php
        raise NotImplementedError(
            "The %s family does not support api.php" % self.name)
