I get this message:

 * ERROR: MediaWiki_Msg caused error Error URL: /wiki/index.php?title=Special:Allmessages&ot=html. Dump MediaWiki_Msg_odessa_en__Sun_Jan_07_22-05-27_2007.dump created.

Any suggestions? Odessaukrain 02:37, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Policy
I wonder what policies different Wikimedia projects (mostly, enwiki) have for using this, and other things that require sysopnames to be set. Enwiki has no bots with admin flag, but are people using this with their regular admin account? Any links? /skagedal... 20:44, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

file parameter
i've used the bot with the -file parameter but nothing happens on my wiki.

the pages (which are all redirects) are still there

what's the syntax of the textfile, i used one article name (without " ' or something like that) per line

File Format
I am having the same file problem, I've tried with and without delimiters and the script still does nothing, no error message, just ends. 82.38.112.222 11:11, 18 August 2007 (UTC)


 * The file should be a numbered wiki list of wiki links. Each line should start with # symbol, followed by a wiki link to the page you want to delete:


 * 1) Delete this


 * 1) Delete that


 * 1) etc.
