************************** Frequently asked questions ************************** **How to speed up Pywikibot?** 1. The first time you are using Pywikibot for multiple Wikimedia sites you can run :py:mod:`preload_sites ` script to preload site info quickly. 2. If you need the content, use :py:mod:`PreloadingGenerator ` with page generators, :py:mod:`EntityGenerator ` for wikibase entities and :py:mod:`DequePreloadingGenerator ` for a :py:mod:`DequeGenerator `. 3. If you use :py:mod:`GeneratorFactory ` with your bot and use its :py:mod:`getCombinedGenerator ` method you can set ``preload=True`` to preload page content. This is an alternate to the ``PreloadingGenerator`` function mentioned above. 4. Use :py:mod:`MySQLPageGenerator ` if direct DB access is available and appropriate. See also: :manpage:`MySQL` **The bot cannot delete pages** Your account needs delete rights on your wiki. If you have setup another account in your user_config use ``-user`` :ref:`global options` to change it. Maybe you have to login first. **ERROR: Unable to execute script because no *generator* was defined.** Using ``-help`` option is a good way to find all generators which can be used with that script. You can also find all generator options and filter options at :py:mod:`pywikibot.pagegenerators` module. See also :manpage:`Page Generators` for additional information. **pywikibot.i18n.TranslationError: No English translation has been defined** It can happen due to lack of i18n submodule or files. Update i18n submodule or download these files first. See also: :manpage:`i18n` manual.
