"""
This script can be used to protect and unprotect pages en masse.
Of course, you will need an admin account on the relevant wiki.
These command line parameters can be used to specify which pages to work on:
¶ms;
Furthermore, the following command line parameters are supported:
-unprotect Acts like "default:all"
-default: Sets the default protection level (default 'sysop'). If no
level is defined it doesn't change unspecified levels.
-[type]:[level] Set [type] protection level to [level]
Usual values for [level] are: sysop, autoconfirmed, all; further levels may be
provided by some wikis.
For all protection types (edit, move, etc.) it chooses the default protection
level. This is "sysop" or "all" if -unprotect was selected. If multiple
parameters -unprotect or -default are used, only the last occurrence
is applied.
This script is a :py:obj:`ConfigParserBot <bot.ConfigParserBot>`.
The following options can be set within a settings file which is scripts.ini
by default::
-always Don't prompt to protect pages, just do it.
-summary: Supply a custom edit summary. Tries to generate summary from
the page selector. If no summary is supplied or couldn't
determine one from the selector it'll ask for one.
-expiry: Supply a custom protection expiry, which defaults to
indefinite. Any string understandable by MediaWiki, including
relative and absolute, is acceptable. See:
:api:`Protect#Parameters`
Usage:
python pwb.py protect <OPTIONS>
Examples
--------
Protect everything in the category 'To protect' prompting:
python pwb.py protect -cat:"To protect"
Unprotect all pages listed in text file 'unprotect.txt' without prompting:
python pwb.py protect -file:unprotect.txt -unprotect -always
