Topic on Manual talk:Pywikibot

I use this software on this site as Abcbot.

I input the text below in the cmd:

replace.py -ns:0 樹 树 -search:樹

and find this page. I pressed "y". Then it returned:

HTTPError: 500 Internal Server Error

After a while, it returned:

What should I do?

Then I use other word to replace. It sucessed. So strange!

The second bug is the bot change my words into question mark. See the contribution of my bot.

I don't see any question marks at the given link or the difflinks. Please give a difflink where you see them. This must be a character encoding problem in your browser (or in your command line).

That is a contribution page, each edit which have question mark in the summary have this program.

These are clearly HTTP errors as stated. The problem is with the server, not the bot. Try again later or contact the maintainer of the wiki.
