pywikibot doesn't see scripts translations

I installed pywikibot as package, downloaded `scripts` and `scripts/i18n`. Added `user_script_paths = ['scripts']` to `user-config.py`. When I run any script I got translation error. Pywikibot search translation in `pywikibot.scripts.i18n` only.

How to use standard scripts with package installed `pywikibot`? Dimka665 (talk) 10:27, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Replacing templates

Hi @Xqt - thanks for all the work you've done on pywikibot, I've used template.py for simple replacements via https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/User:ColumbaBushBot but now I wanted to do something more complicated

1. detect if {{aii-verb}} exists
2. extract its first argument
3. and replace the aii-conj-verb template (ex. {{aii-conj-verb/G]}}, {{aii-conj-verb/C]}}, etc...) with {{aii-conj|<first argument from step 2>}}

An example of this would be this edit https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=%DC%A5%DC%A2%DC%90&diff=prev&oldid=82304028

Can you recommend how I can use existing scripts to accomplish this, or perhaps even provide a code snippet to modify an existing script?

Thanks so much, your help is greatly appreciated ColumbaBush (talk) 16:47, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Add Sitelinks to Wikipedia with badge 'intentional sitelink to redirect'

Hi, i am trying to add a Sitelink to a Wikidata Entry, pointing to a site in a wikipedia project that is a redirect. When i add the page directly, the redirect gets resolved an the sitelink gets added as the page behind the redirect. I assume i have to somehow set the badge 'intentional sitelink to redirect'. I tried searching for a guide or documentation on that, but could not find it. Can someone point me to a page where this is described, or does someone know, if this even is a feature that is supported? Thanks in Advance Tidoni (talk) 06:52, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

It should be possible using SiteLink:

from pywikibot import ItemPage, SiteLink
site = ...
repo = pywikibot.Site('wikidata')
item = ItemPage(repo, 'Q4115189')
link = SiteLink(title, site, [ItemPage(repo, 'Q70894304')])
item.setSitelink(link)

or that like. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 16:15, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:NG:Dev.Team_games

Hi. I found that

   site = pywikibot.Site("en")
   page = pywikibot.Page(site, "Category:NG:Dev.Team_games")
   print(page.text)

works well, but

   site = pywikibot.Site("en")
   page = pywikibot.Page(site, "NG:Dev.Team_games", 14)
   print(page.text)

raises an error:

   NoUsernameError: Failed OAuth authentication for wikipedia:ng: The authorization headers in your request are for a user that does not exist here

I guess pywikibot treated the title as a interwiki. So how to make it parses namespace id (i.e. 14) first? Thanks.
