Manual:Pywikibot/commons link.py

Include Commons template in home wiki.

This bot functions mainly in the en.wikipedia, because it compares the names of articles and category in English language (standard language in Commons). If the name of an article in Commons will not be in English but with redirect, this also functions.

Syntax
 python pwb.py commons_link [action] [pagegenerator] where action can be one of these: * pages     : Run over articles, include * categories : Run over categories, include and pagegenerator can be one of these:

Pages to work on can be specified using any of: -cat             Work on all pages which are in a specific category. Argument can also be given as "-cat:categoryname" or                 as "-cat:categoryname|fromtitle" (using # instead of |                  is also allowed in this one and the following)

-catr            Like -cat, but also recursively includes pages in                  subcategories, sub-subcategories etc. of the given category. Argument can also be given as "-catr:categoryname" or                 as "-catr:categoryname|fromtitle".

-subcats         Work on all subcategories of a specific category. Argument can also be given as "-subcats:categoryname" or                 as "-subcats:categoryname|fromtitle".

-subcatsr        Like -subcats, but also includes sub-subcategories etc. of                  the given category. Argument can also be given as "-subcatsr:categoryname" or                 as "-subcatsr:categoryname|fromtitle".

-uncat           Work on all pages which are not categorised.

-uncatfiles      Work on all files which are not categorised.

-file            Read a list of pages to treat from the named text file. Page titles in the file may be either enclosed with brackets, or be separated by new lines. Argument can also be given as "-file:filename".

-filelinks       Work on all pages that use a certain image/media file. Argument can also be given as "-filelinks:filename".

-search          Work on all pages that are found in a MediaWiki search across all namespaces.

-logevents       Work on articles that were on a specified Special:Log. The value may be a comma separated list of three values:

To use the default value, use an empty string. You have options for every type of logs given by the log event parameter which could be one of the following:

block, protect, rights, delete, upload, move, import, patrol, merge, suppress, review, stable, gblblock, renameuser, globalauth, gblrights, abusefilter, newusers

It uses the default number of pages 10.

Examples:

-logevents:move gives pages from move log (usually redirects) -logevents:delete,,20 gives 20 pages from deletion log -logevents:protect,Usr gives pages from protect by user Usr -logevents:patrol,Usr,20 gives 20 patroled pages by user Usr

In some cases it must be written as -logevents:"patrol,Usr,20"

-namespaces      Filter the page generator to only yield pages in the -namespace       specified namespaces. Separate multiple namespace -ns              numbers or names with commas. Examples:

If used with -newpages, -namepace/ns must be provided before -newpages. If used with -recentchanges, efficiency is improved if                 -namepace/ns is provided before -recentchanges.

If used with -start, -namepace/ns shall contain only one value.
