Scripts package#
Scripts folder contains predefined scripts easy to use.
Scripts are only available with Pywikibot if installed in directory mode and not as site package. They can be run in command line using the pwb wrapper script:
python pwb.py <global options> <name_of_script> <options>
Every script provides a -help
option which shows all available
options, their explanation and usage examples. Global options
will be shown by -help:global
or using:
python pwb.py -help
The advantages of pwb.py wrapper script are:
check for framework and script depedencies and show a warning if a package is missing or outdated or if the Python release does not fit
check whether user config file (user-config.py) is available and ask to create it by starting the generate_user_files.py script
enable global options even if a script does not support them
start private scripts located in userscripts sub-folder
find a script even if given script name does not match a filename e.g. due to spelling mistake
add_text script#
Append text to the top or bottom of a page
By default this adds the text to the bottom above the categories and interwiki.
Use the following command line parameters to specify what to add:
-text Text to append. "\n" are interpreted as newlines.
-textfile Path to a file with text to append
-summary Change summary to use
-up Append text to the top of the page rather than the bottom
-create Create the page if necessary. Note that talk pages are
created already without of this option.
-createonly Only create the page but do not edit existing ones
-always If used, the bot won't ask if it should add the specified
text
-major If used, the edit will be saved without the "minor edit" flag
-talkpage Put the text onto the talk page instead
-talk
-excepturl Skip pages with a url that matches this regular expression
-noreorder Place the text beneath the categories and interwiki
Furthermore, the following can be used to specify which pages to process…
This script supports use of pagegenerators
arguments.
Examples
Append ‘hello world’ to the bottom of the sandbox:
python pwb.py add_text -page:Wikipedia:Sandbox \ -summary:"Bot: pywikibot practice" -text:"hello world"
Add a template to the top of the pages with ‘category:catname’:
python pwb.py add_text -cat:catname -summary:"Bot: Adding a template" \ -text:"{{Something}}" -except:"\{\{([Tt]emplate:|)[Ss]omething" -up
Command used on it.wikipedia to put the template in the page without any category:
python pwb.py add_text -except:"\{\{([Tt]emplate:|)[Cc]ategorizzare" \ -text:"{{Categorizzare}}" -excepturl:"class='catlinks'>" -uncat \ -summary:"Bot: Aggiungo template Categorizzare"

archivebot script#
archivebot.py - discussion page archiving bot
usage:
python pwb.py archivebot [OPTIONS] [TEMPLATE_PAGE]
Several TEMPLATE_PAGE templates can be given at once. Default is
User:MiszaBot/config
. Bot examines backlinks (Special:WhatLinksHere)
to all TEMPLATE_PAGE templates. Then goes through all pages (unless a
specific page specified using options) and archives old discussions.
This is done by breaking a page into threads, then scanning each thread
for timestamps. Threads older than a specified threshold are then moved
to another page (the archive), which can be named either basing on the
thread’s name or then name can contain a counter which will be
incremented when the archive reaches a certain size.
Transcluded template may contain the following parameters:
{{TEMPLATE_PAGE
|archive =
|algo =
|counter =
|maxarchivesize =
|minthreadsleft =
|minthreadstoarchive =
|archiveheader =
|key =
}}
Meanings of parameters are:
archive Name of the page to which archived threads will be put.
Must be a subpage of the current page. Variables are
supported.
algo Specifies the maximum age of a thread. Must be
in the form old(<delay>) where <delay> specifies
the age in seconds (s), hours (h), days (d),
weeks (w), or years (y) like 24h or 5d. Default is
old(24h).
counter The current value of a counter which could be assigned as
variable. Will be updated by bot. Initial value is 1.
maxarchivesize The maximum archive size before incrementing the counter.
Value can be given with appending letter like K or M
which indicates KByte or MByte. Default value is 200K.
minthreadsleft Minimum number of threads that should be left on a page.
Default value is 5.
minthreadstoarchive The minimum number of threads to archive at once. Default
value is 2.
archiveheader Content that will be put on new archive pages as the
header. This parameter supports the use of variables.
Default value is {{talkarchive}}
key A secret key that (if valid) allows archives not to be
subpages of the page being archived.
Variables below can be used in the value for “archive” in the template above; numbers are latin digits:
%(counter)d the current value of the counter
%(year)d year of the thread being archived
%(isoyear)d ISO year of the thread being archived
%(isoweek)d ISO week number of the thread being archived
%(semester)d semester term of the year of the thread being archived
%(quarter)d quarter of the year of the thread being archived
%(month)d month (as a number 1-12) of the thread being archived
%(monthname)s localized name of the month above
%(monthnameshort)s first three letters of the name above
%(week)d week number of the thread being archived
Alternatively you may use localized digits. This is only available for a
few site languages. Refer NON_LATIN_DIGITS
whether
there is a localized one:
%(localcounter)s the current value of the counter
%(localyear)s year of the thread being archived
%(localisoyear)s ISO year of the thread being archived
%(localisoweek)s ISO week number of the thread being archived
%(localsemester)s semester term of the year of the thread being archived
%(localquarter)s quarter of the year of the thread being archived
%(localmonth)s month (as a number 1-12) of the thread being archived
%(localweek)s week number of the thread being archived
The ISO calendar starts with the Monday of the week which has at least four days in the new Gregorian calendar. If January 1st is between Monday and Thursday (including), the first week of that year started the Monday of that week, which is in the year before if January 1st is not a Monday. If it’s between Friday or Sunday (including) the following week is then the first week of the year. So up to three days are still counted as the year before.

basic script#
An incomplete sample script
This is not a complete bot; rather, it is a template from which simple bots can be made. You can rename it to mybot.py, then edit it in whatever way you want.
Use global -simulate option for test purposes. No changes to live wiki will be done.
The following parameters are supported:
-always The bot won't ask for confirmation when putting a page
-text: Use this text to be added; otherwise 'Test' is used
-replace: Don't add text but replace it
-top Place additional text on top of the page
-summary: Set the action summary message for the edit.
This sample script is a
ConfigParserBot
. All settings can be
made either by giving option with the command line or with a settings file
which is scripts.ini by default. If you don’t want the default values you can
add any option you want to change to that settings file below the [basic]
section like:
[basic] ; inline comments starts with colon
# This is a commend line. Assignments may be done with '=' or ':'
text: A text with line break and
continuing on next line to be put
replace: yes ; yes/no, on/off, true/false and 1/0 is also valid
summary = Bot: My first test edit with pywikibot
Every script has its own section with the script name as header.
In addition the following generators and filters are supported but cannot be set by settings file:
This script supports use of pagegenerators
arguments.

blockpageschecker script#
A bot to remove stale protection templates from pages that are not protected
Very often sysops block the pages for a set time but then they forget to remove the warning! This script is useful if you want to remove those useless warning left in these pages.
These command line parameters can be used to specify which pages to work on:
This script supports use of pagegenerators
arguments.
Furthermore, the following command line parameters are supported:
-protectedpages Check all the blocked pages; useful when you have not
categories or when you have problems with them. (add the
namespace after ":" where you want to check - default checks
all protected pages.)
-moveprotected Same as -protectedpages, for moveprotected pages
This script is a ConfigParserBot
.
The following options can be set within a settings file which is scripts.ini
by default::
-always Doesn't ask every time whether the bot should make the change.
Do it always.
-show When the bot can't delete the template from the page (wrong
regex or something like that) it will ask you if it should
show the page on your browser.
(attention: pages included may give false positives!)
-move The bot will check if the page is blocked also for the move
option, not only for edit
Examples::
python pwb.py blockpageschecker -always
python pwb.py blockpageschecker -cat:Geography -always

category script#
Script to manage categories
Syntax:
python pwb.py category action [-option]
where action can be one of these
- add
mass-add a category to a list of pages.
- remove
remove category tag from all pages in a category. If a pagegenerators option is given, the intersection with category pages is processed.
- move
move all pages in a category to another category. If a pagegenerators option is given, the intersection with category pages is processed.
- tidy
tidy up a category by moving its pages into subcategories.
- tree
show a tree of subcategories of a given category.
- listify
make a list of all of the articles that are in a category.
- clean
Removes redundant grandchildren from specified category by removing direct link to grandparent. In another words a grandchildren should not be also a children.
and option can be one of these
Options for “add” action:
-person - Sort persons by their last name.
-create - If a page doesn't exist, do not skip it, create it instead.
-redirect - Follow redirects.
Options for “listify” action:
-append - This appends the list to the current page that is already
existing (appending to the bottom by default).
-overwrite - This overwrites the current page with the list even if
something is already there.
-showimages - This displays images rather than linking them in the list.
-talkpages - This outputs the links to talk pages of the pages to be
listified in addition to the pages themselves.
-prefix:# - You may specify a list prefix like "#" for a numbered list or
any other prefix. Default is a bullet list with prefix "*".
Options for “remove” action:
-nodelsum - This specifies not to use the custom edit summary as the
deletion reason. Instead, it uses the default deletion reason
for the language, which is "Category was disbanded" in
English.
Options for “move” action:
-hist - Creates a nice wikitable on the talk page of target category
that contains detailed page history of the source category.
-nodelete - Don't delete the old category after move.
-nowb - Don't update the Wikibase repository.
-allowsplit - If that option is not set, it only moves the talk and main
page together.
-mvtogether - Only move the pages/subcategories of a category, if the
target page (and talk page, if -allowsplit is not set)
doesn't exist.
-keepsortkey - Use sortKey of the old category also for the new category.
If not specified, sortKey is removed.
An alternative method to keep sortKey is to use -inplace
option.
Options for “listify” and “tidy” actions:
-namespaces Filter the arcitles in the specified namespaces. Separate
-namespace multiple namespace numbers or names with commas. Examples::
-ns -ns:0,2,4
-ns:Help,MediaWiki
Options for “clean” action:
-always
Options for several actions:
-rebuild - Reset the database.
-from: - The category to move from (for the move option)
Also, the category to remove from in the remove option
Also, the category to make a list of in the listify option.
-to: - The category to move to (for the move option).
- Also, the name of the list to make in the listify option.
-batch - Don't prompt to delete emptied categories (do it
automatically).
-summary: - Pick a custom edit summary for the bot.
-inplace - Use this flag to change categories in place rather than
rearranging them.
-recurse[:<depth>]
- Recurse through subcategories of the category to
optional depth.
-pagesonly - While removing pages from a category, keep the subpage links
and do not remove them.
-match - Only work on pages whose titles match the given regex (for
move and remove actions).
-depth: - The max depth limit beyond which no subcategories will be
listed.
Note
If the category names have spaces in them you may need to use
a special syntax in your shell so that the names aren’t treated as
separate parameters. For instance, in BASH, use single quotes, e.g.
-from:'Polar bears'
.
If action is “add”, “move” or “remove, the following additional options are supported:
This script supports use of pagegenerators
arguments.
For the actions tidy and tree, the bot will store the category structure locally in category.dump. This saves time and server load, but if it uses these data later, they may be outdated; use the -rebuild parameter in this case.
For example, to create a new category from a list of persons, type:
python pwb.py category add -person
and follow the on-screen instructions.
Or to do it all from the command-line, use the following syntax:
python pwb.py category move -from:US -to:"United States"
This will move all pages in the category US to the category United States.
A pagegenerators option can be given with move
and remove
action:
pwb category -site:wikipedia:en remove -from:Hydraulics -cat:Pneumatics
The sample above would remove ‘Hydraulics’ category from all pages which are also in ‘Pneumatics’ category.
Changed in version 8.0: pagegenerators
are supported with “move” and “remove” action.

- class scripts.category.CategoryTidyRobot(cat_title, cat_db, namespaces=None, comment=None)[source]#
Bases:
Bot
,CategoryPreprocess
Robot to move members of a category into sub- or super-categories.
Specify the category title on the command line. The robot will pick up the page, look for all sub- and super-categories, and show them listed as possibilities to move page into with an assigned number. It will ask you to type number of the appropriate replacement, and performs the change robotically. It will then automatically loop over all pages in the category.
If you don’t want to move the member to a sub- or super-category, but to another category, you can use the ‘j’ (jump) command.
By typing ‘s’ you can leave the complete page unchanged.
By typing ‘m’ you can show more content of the current page, helping you to find out what the page is about and in which other categories it currently is.
- Parameters:
cat_title (Optional[str]) – a title of the category to process.
cat_db (CategoryDatabase object) – a CategoryDatabase object.
namespaces (iterable of pywikibot.Namespace) – namespaces to focus on.
comment (Optional[str]) – a custom summary for edits.

claimit script#
A script that adds claims to Wikidata items based on a list of pages
These command line parameters can be used to specify which pages to work on:
This script supports use of pagegenerators
arguments.
Usage:
python pwb.py claimit [pagegenerators] P1 Q2 P123 Q456
You can use any typical pagegenerator (like categories) to provide with a list of pages. Then list the property–>target pairs to add.
For geographic coordinates:
python pwb.py claimit [pagegenerators] P625 [lat-dec],[long-dec],[prec]
[lat-dec] and [long-dec] represent the latitude and longitude respectively, and [prec] represents the precision. All values are in decimal degrees, not DMS. If [prec] is omitted, the default precision is 0.0001 degrees.
Example
python pwb.py claimit [pagegenerators] P625 -23.3991,-52.0910,0.0001
By default, claimit.py does not add a claim if one with the same property already exists on the page. To override this behavior, use the ‘exists’ option:
python pwb.py claimit [pagegenerators] P246 "string example" -exists:p
Suppose the claim you want to add has the same property as an existing claim and the “-exists:p” argument is used. Now, claimit.py will not add the claim if it has the same target, source, and/or the existing claim has qualifiers. To override this behavior, add ‘t’ (target), ‘s’ (sources), or ‘q’ (qualifiers) to the ‘exists’ argument.
For instance, to add the claim to each page even if one with the same property and target and some qualifiers already exists:
python pwb.py claimit [pagegenerators] P246 "string example" -exists:ptq
Note that the ordering of the letters in the ‘exists’ argument does not matter, but ‘p’ must be included.

- Prerequisites:
pywikibot
Install the following ISBN lib packages:: https://pypi.org/search/?q=isbnlib_
pip install isbnlib (mandatory)
(optional) pip install isbnlib-bol pip install isbnlib-bnf pip install isbnlib-dnb pip install isbnlib-kb pip install isbnlib-loc pip install isbnlib-worldcat2 etc.
- Restrictions:
- Better use the ISO 639-1 language code parameter as a default
The language code is not always available from the digital library.
- SPARQL queries run on a replicated database
Possible important replication delay; wait 5 minutes before retry – otherwise risk for creating duplicates.
- Known problems:
Unknown ISBN, e.g. 9789400012820
No ISBN data available for an edition either causes no output (goob = Google Books), or an error message (wiki, openl) The script is taking care of both
Only 6 ISBN attributes are listed by the webservice(s) missing are e.g.: place of publication, number of pages
Not all ISBN atttributes have data (authos, publisher, date of publication, language)
The script uses multiple webservice calls (script might take time, but it is automated)
Need to amend ISBN items that have no author, publisher, or other required data (which additional services to use?)
- How to add still more digital libraries?
Does the KBR has a public ISBN service (Koninklijke Bibliotheek van België)?
Filter for work properties – need to amend Q47461344 (written work) instance and P629 (edition of) + P747 (has edition) statements https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q63413107 [‘9781282557246’, ‘9786612557248’, ‘9781847196057’, ‘9781847196040’] P8383: Goodreads-identificatiecode voor work 13957943 (should have P2969) P5331: OCLC-identificatiecode voor work 793965595 (should have P243)
- Algorithm:
# Get parameters # Validate parameters # Get ISBN data # Convert ISBN data # Get additional data # Register ISBN data into Wikidata (create or amend items or claims)
Environment:
The python script can run on the following platforms::
Linux client
Google Chromebook (Linux container)
Toolforge Portal
PAWS
LANG: ISO 639-1 language code
Applications:
Generate a book reference
Example: {{Cite Q|Q63413107}} (wp.en)

- Returns:
Set of items (Q-numbers)
dataextend script#
Script to add properties, identifiers and sources to WikiBase items
Usage:
dataextend <item> [<property>[+*]] [args]
In the basic usage, where no property is specified, item is the Q-number of the item to work on.from html import unescape
If a property (P-number, or the special value ‘Wiki’ or ‘Data’) is specified, only the data from that identifier are added. With a ‘+’ after it, work starts on that identifier, then goes on to identifiers after that (including new identifiers added while working on those identifiers). With a ‘*’ after it, the identifier itself is skipped, but those coming after it (not those coming before it) are included.
The following parameters are supported:
-always If this is supplied, the bot will not ask for permission
after each external link has been handled.
-showonly Only show claims for a given ItemPage. Don't try to add any
properties
The bot will load the corresponding pages for these identifiers, and try to the meaning of that string for the specified type of thing (for example ‘city’ or ‘gender’). If you want to use it, but not save it (which can happen if the string specifies a certain value now, but might show another value elsewhere, or if it is so specific that you’re pretty sure it won’t occur a second time), you can provide the Q-number with X rather than Q. If you do not want to use the string, you can just hit enter, or give the special value ‘XXX’ which means that it will be skipped in each subsequent run as well.
After an identifier has been worked on, there might be a list of names that has been found, in lc:name format, where lc is a language code. You can accept all suggested names (answer Y), none (answer N) or ask to get asked for each name separately (answer S), the latter being the default if you do not fill in anything.
After all identifiers have been worked on, possible descriptions in various languages are presented, and you get to choose one. The default is here 0, which always is the current description for that language. Finally, for a number of identifiers text is shown that usually gives parts of the description that are hard to parse automatically, so you can see if there any additional pieces of data that can be added.
It is advisable to (re)load the item page that the bot has been working on in the browser afterward, to correct any mistakes it has made, or cases where a more precise and less precise value have both been included.

This script supports use of pagegenerators
arguments.
You can also use additional parameters:
-confirm If used, the bot will ask if it should make changes
-create Create missing items before importing.
The following command line parameters can be used to change the bot’s behavior. If you specify them before all parameters, they are global and are applied to all param-property pairs. If you specify them after a param-property pair, they are local and are only applied to this pair. If you specify the same argument as both local and global, the local argument overrides the global one (see also examples):
-islink Treat plain text values as links ("text" -> "[[text]]").
-exists If set to 'p', add a new value, even if the item already
has the imported property but not the imported value.
If set to 'pt', add a new value, even if the item already
has the imported property with the imported value and
some qualifiers.
-multi If set, try to match multiple values from parameter.
-inverse Import this property as the inverse claim.
Examples
The following command will try to import existing images from “image” parameter of “Infobox person” on English Wikipedia as Wikidata property “P18” (image):
python pwb.py harvest_template -lang:en -family:wikipedia -namespace:0 \
-template:"Infobox person" image P18
The following command will behave the same as the previous example and also try to import [[links]] from “birth_place” parameter of the same template as Wikidata property “P19” (place of birth):
python pwb.py harvest_template -lang:en -family:wikipedia -namespace:0 \
-template:"Infobox person" image P18 birth_place P19
The following command will import both “birth_place” and “death_place” params with -islink modifier, ie. the bot will try to import values, even if it doesn’t find a [[link]]:
python pwb.py harvest_template -lang:en -family:wikipedia -namespace:0 \
-template:"Infobox person" -islink birth_place P19 death_place P20
The following command will do the same but only “birth_place” can be imported without a link:
python pwb.py harvest_template -lang:en -family:wikipedia -namespace:0 \
-template:"Infobox person" birth_place P19 -islink death_place P20
The following command will import an occupation from “occupation” parameter of “Infobox person” on English Wikipedia as Wikidata property “P106” (occupation). The page won’t be skipped if the item already has that property but there is not the new value:
python pwb.py harvest_template -lang:en -family:wikipedia -namespace:0 \
-template:"Infobox person" occupation P106 -exists:p
The following command will import band members from the “current_members” parameter of “Infobox musical artist” on English Wikipedia as Wikidata property “P527” (has part). This will only extract multiple band members if each is linked, and will not add duplicate claims for the same member:
python pwb.py harvest_template -lang:en -family:wikipedia -namespace:0 \
-template:"Infobox musical artist" current_members P527 -exists:p \
-multi
The following command will import the category’s main topic from the first anonymous parameter of “Cat main” on English Wikipedia as Wikidata property “P301” (category’s main topic) and whenever a new value is imported, the inverse claim is imported to the topic item as Wikidata property “P910” (topic’s main category) unless a claim of that property is already there:
python pwb.py harvest_template -lang:en -family:wikipedia -namespace:14 \
-template:"Cat main" 1 P301 -inverse:P910 -islink

This script supports use of pagegenerators
arguments.
- class scripts.illustrate_wikidata.IllustrateRobot(wdproperty='P18', **kwargs)[source]#
Bases:
WikidataBot
A bot to add Wikidata image claims.
- Parameters:
wdproperty (str) – The property to add. Should be of type commonsMedia
image script#
This script can be used to change one image to another or remove an image
Syntax:
python pwb.py image image_name [new_image_name]
If only one command-line parameter is provided then that image will be removed; if two are provided, then the first image will be replaced by the second one on all pages.
Command line options:
-summary: Provide a custom edit summary. If the summary includes spaces,
surround it with single quotes, such as:
-summary:'My edit summary'
-always Don't prompt to make changes, just do them.
-loose Do loose replacements. This will replace all occurrences of the name
of the image (and not just explicit image syntax). This should work
to catch all instances of the image, including where it is used as a
template parameter or in image galleries. However, it can also make
more mistakes. This only works with image replacement, not image
removal.
Examples
The image “FlagrantCopyvio.jpg” is about to be deleted, so let’s first remove it from everything that displays it:
python pwb.py image FlagrantCopyvio.jpg
The image “Flag.svg” has been uploaded, making the old “Flag.jpg” obsolete:
python pwb.py image Flag.jpg Flag.svg

initializer in such case.New in version 6.4.
interwiki script#
Script to check language links for general pages
Uses existing translations of a page, plus hints from the command line, to download the equivalent pages from other languages. All of such pages are downloaded as well and checked for interwiki links recursively until there are no more links that are encountered. A rationalization process then selects the right interwiki links, and if this is unambiguous, the interwiki links in the original page will be automatically updated and the modified page uploaded.
These command-line arguments can be used to specify which pages to work on:
-days: Like -years, but runs through all date pages. Stops at
Dec 31. If the argument is given in the form -days:X,
it will start at month no. X through Dec 31. If the
argument is simply given as -days, it will run from
Jan 1 through Dec 31. E.g. for -days:9 it will run
from Sep 1 through Dec 31.
-years: run on all year pages in numerical order. Stop at year 2050.
If the argument is given in the form -years:XYZ, it
will run from [[XYZ]] through [[2050]]. If XYZ is a
negative value, it is interpreted as a year BC. If the
argument is simply given as -years, it will run from 1
through 2050.
This implies -noredirect.
-new: Work on the 100 newest pages. If given as -new:x, will work
on the x newest pages.
When multiple -namespace parameters are given, x pages are
inspected, and only the ones in the selected name spaces are
processed. Use -namespace:all for all namespaces. Without
-namespace, only article pages are processed.
This implies -noredirect.
-restore: restore a set of "dumped" pages the bot was working on
when it terminated. The dump file will be subsequently
removed.
-restore:all restore a set of "dumped" pages of all dumpfiles to a given
family remaining in the "interwiki-dumps" directory. All
these dump files will be subsequently removed. If restoring
process interrupts again, it saves all unprocessed pages in
one new dump file of the given site.
-continue: like restore, but after having gone through the dumped
pages, continue alphabetically starting at the last of the
dumped pages. The dump file will be subsequently removed.
This script supports use of pagegenerators
arguments.
Additionally, these arguments can be used to restrict the bot to certain pages:
-namespace:n Number or name of namespace to process. The parameter can be
used multiple times. It works in combination with all other
parameters, except for the -start parameter. If you e.g.
want to iterate over all categories starting at M, use
-start:Category:M.
-number: used as -number:#, specifies that the bot should process
that amount of pages and then stop. This is only useful in
combination with -start. The default is not to stop.
-until: used as -until:title, specifies that the bot should
process pages in wiki default sort order up to, and
including, "title" and then stop. This is only useful in
combination with -start. The default is not to stop.
Note: do not specify a namespace, even if -start has one.
-bracket only work on pages that have (in the home language)
parenthesis in their title. All other pages are skipped.
(note: without ending colon)
-skipfile: used as -skipfile:filename, skip all links mentioned in
the given file. This does not work with -number!
-skipauto use to skip all pages that can be translated automatically,
like dates, centuries, months, etc.
(note: without ending colon)
-lack: used as -lack:xx with xx a language code: only work on pages
without links to language xx. You can also add a number nn
like -lack:xx:nn, so that the bot only works on pages with
at least nn interwiki links (the default value for nn is 1).
These arguments control miscellaneous bot behaviour:
-quiet Use this option to get less output
(note: without ending colon)
-async Put page on queue to be saved to wiki asynchronously. This
enables loading pages during saving throttling and gives a
better performance.
NOTE: For post-processing it always assumes that saving the
the pages was successful.
(note: without ending colon)
-summary: Set an additional action summary message for the edit. This
could be used for further explainings of the bot action.
This will only be used in non-autonomous mode.
-hintsonly The bot does not ask for a page to work on, even if none of
the above page sources was specified. This will make the
first existing page of -hint or -hinfile slip in as start
page, determining properties like namespace, disambiguation
state, and so on. When no existing page is found in the
hints, the bot does nothing.
Hitting return without input on the "Which page to check:"
prompt has the same effect as using -hintsonly.
Options like -back, -same or -wiktionary are in effect only
after a page has been found to work on.
(note: without ending colon)
These arguments are useful to provide hints to the bot:
-hint: used as -hint:de:Anweisung to give the bot a hint
where to start looking for translations. If no text
is given after the second ':', the name of the page
itself is used as the title for the hint, unless the
-hintnobracket command line option (see there) is also
selected.
There are some special hints, trying a number of languages
at once::
* all: All languages with at least ca. 100 articles
* 10: The 10 largest languages (sites with most
articles). Analogous for any other natural
number
* arab: All languages using the Arabic alphabet
* cyril: All languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet
* chinese: All Chinese dialects
* latin: All languages using the Latin script
* scand: All Scandinavian languages
Names of families that forward their interlanguage links
to the wiki family being worked upon can be used, they are::
* commons: Interlanguage links of Wikimedia Commons
* incubator: Links in pages on the Wikimedia Incubator
* meta: Interlanguage links of named pages on Meta
* species: Interlanguage links of the Wikispecies wiki
* strategy: Links in pages on Wikimedia Strategy wiki
* test: Take interwiki links from Test Wikipedia
* wikimania: Interwiki links of Wikimania
Languages, groups and families having the same page title
can be combined, as -hint:5,scand,sr,pt,commons:New_York
-hintfile: similar to -hint, except that hints are taken from the given
file, enclosed in [[]] each, instead of the command line.
-askhints: for each page one or more hints are asked. See hint: above
for the format, one can for example give "en:something" or
"20:" as hint.
-repository Include data repository
-same looks over all 'serious' languages for the same title.
-same is equivalent to -hint:all::
(note: without ending colon)
-wiktionary: similar to -same, but will ONLY accept names that are
identical to the original. Also, if the title is not
capitalized, it will only go through other wikis without
automatic capitalization.
-untranslated: works normally on pages with at least one interlanguage
link; asks for hints for pages that have none.
-untranslatedonly: same as -untranslated, but pages which already have a
translation are skipped. Hint: do NOT use this in
combination with -start without a -number limit, because
you will go through the whole alphabet before any queries
are performed!
-showpage when asking for hints, show the first bit of the text
of the page always, rather than doing so only when being
asked for (by typing '?'). Only useful in combination
with a hint-asking option like -untranslated, -askhints
or -untranslatedonly.
(note: without ending colon)
-noauto Do not use the automatic translation feature for years and
dates, only use found links and hints.
(note: without ending colon)
-hintnobracket used to make the bot strip everything in last brackets,
and surrounding spaces from the page name, before it is
used in a -hint:xy: where the page name has been left out,
or -hint:all:, -hint:10:, etc. without a name, or
an -askhint reply, where only a language is given.
These arguments define how much user confirmation is required:
-autonomous run automatically, do not ask any questions. If a question
-auto to an operator is needed, write the name of the page
to autonomous_problems.dat and continue on the next page.
(note: without ending colon)
-confirm ask for confirmation before any page is changed on the
live wiki. Without this argument, additions and
unambiguous modifications are made without confirmation.
(note: without ending colon)
-force do not ask permission to make "controversial" changes,
like removing a language because none of the found
alternatives actually exists.
(note: without ending colon)
-cleanup like -force but only removes interwiki links to non-existent
or empty pages.
-select ask for each link whether it should be included before
changing any page. This is useful if you want to remove
invalid interwiki links and if you do multiple hints of
which some might be correct and others incorrect. Combining
-select and -confirm is possible, but seems like overkill.
(note: without ending colon)
These arguments specify in which way the bot should follow interwiki links:
-noredirect do not follow redirects nor category redirects.
(note: without ending colon)
-initialredirect work on its target if a redirect or category redirect is
entered on the command line or by a generator (note: without
ending colon). It is recommended to use this option with the
-movelog pagegenerator.
-neverlink: used as -neverlink:xx where xx is a language code::
Disregard any links found to language xx. You can also
specify a list of languages to disregard, separated by
commas.
-ignore: used as -ignore:xx:aaa where xx is a language code, and
aaa is a page title to be ignored.
-ignorefile: similar to -ignore, except that the pages are taken from
the given file instead of the command line.
-localright do not follow interwiki links from other pages than the
starting page. (Warning! Should be used very sparingly,
only when you are sure you have first gotten the interwiki
links on the starting page exactly right).
(note: without ending colon)
-hintsareright do not follow interwiki links to sites for which hints
on existing pages are given. Note that, hints given
interactively, via the -askhint command line option,
are only effective once they have been entered, thus
interwiki links on the starting page are followed
regardess of hints given when prompted.
(Warning! Should be used with caution!)
(note: without ending colon)
-back only work on pages that have no backlink from any other
language; if a backlink is found, all work on the page
will be halted. (note: without ending colon)
The following arguments are only important for users who have accounts for multiple languages, and specify on which sites the bot should modify pages:
-localonly only work on the local wiki, not on other wikis in the
family I have a login at. (note: without ending colon)
-limittwo only update two pages - one in the local wiki (if logged-in)
and one in the top available one.
For example, if the local page has links to de and fr,
this option will make sure that only the local site and
the de: (larger) sites are updated. This option is useful
to quickly set two way links without updating all of the
wiki families sites.
(note: without ending colon)
-whenneeded works like limittwo, but other languages are changed in the
following cases::
* If there are no interwiki links at all on the page
* If an interwiki link must be removed
* If an interwiki link must be changed and there has been
a conflict for this page
Optionally, -whenneeded can be given an additional number
(for example -whenneeded:3), in which case other languages
will be changed if there are that number or more links to
change or add. (note: without ending colon)
The following arguments influence how many pages the bot works on at once:
-array: The number of pages the bot tries to be working on at once.
If the number of pages loaded is lower than this number,
a new set of pages is loaded from the starting wiki. The
default is 100, but can be changed in the config variable
interwiki_min_subjects
-query: The maximum number of pages that the bot will load at once.
Default value is 50.
Some configuration option can be used to change the working of this bot:
interwiki_min_subjects: the minimum amount of subjects that should be
processed at the same time.
interwiki_backlink: if set to True, all problems in foreign wikis will
be reported
interwiki_shownew: should interwiki.py display every new link it discovers?
interwiki_graph: output a graph PNG file on conflicts? You need pydot for
this: https://pypi.org/project/pydot/
interwiki_graph_format: the file format for interwiki graphs
without_interwiki: save file with local articles without interwikis
All these options can be changed through the user configuration file.
If interwiki.py is terminated before it is finished, it will write a dump file to the interwiki-dumps subdirectory. The program will read it if invoked with the “-restore” or “-continue” option, and finish all the subjects in that list. After finishing the dump file will be deleted. To run the interwiki-bot on all pages on a language, run it with option “-start:!”, and if it takes so long that you have to break it off, use “-continue” next time.

- class scripts.interwiki.Subject(origin=None, hints=None, conf=None)[source]#
Bases:
Subject
Class to follow the progress of a single ‘subject’.
(i.e. a page with all its translations)
Subject is a transitive closure of the binary relation on Page: “has_a_langlink_pointing_to”.
A formal way to compute that closure would be:
With P a set of pages, NL (‘NextLevel’) a function on sets defined as:
NL(P) = { target | ∃ source ∈ P, target ∈ source.langlinks() }
pseudocode:
todo <- [origin] done <- [] while todo != []: pending <- todo todo <-NL(pending) / done done <- NL(pending) U done return done
There is, however, one limitation that is induced by implementation: to compute efficiently NL(P), one has to load the page contents of pages in P. (Not only the langlinks have to be parsed from each Page, but we also want to know if the Page is a redirect, a disambiguation, etc…)
Because of this, the pages in pending have to be preloaded. However, because the pages in pending are likely to be in several sites we cannot “just” preload them as a batch.
Instead of doing “pending <- todo” at each iteration, we have to elect a Site, and we put in pending all the pages from todo that belong to that Site:
Code becomes:
todo <- {origin.site: [origin]} done <- [] while todo != {}: site <- electSite() pending <- todo[site] preloadpages(site, pending) todo[site] <- NL(pending) / done done <- NL(pending) U done return done
Subject objects only operate on pages that should have been preloaded before. In fact, at any time:
todo contains new Pages that have not been loaded yet
done contains Pages that have been loaded, and that have been treated.
If batch preloadings are successful, Page._get() is never called from this Object.
Takes as arguments the Page on the home wiki plus optionally a list of hints for translation
- addIfNew(page, counter, linkingPage)[source]#
Add the pagelink given to the todo list, if it hasn’t been seen yet.
If it is added, update the counter accordingly.
Also remembers where we found the page, regardless of whether it had already been found before or not.
Returns True if the page is new.
- Return type:
bool
- batchLoaded(counter)[source]#
Notify that the promised batch of pages was loaded.
This is called by a worker to tell us that the promised batch of pages was loaded. In other words, all the pages in self.pending have already been preloaded.
The only argument is an instance of a counter class, that has methods minus() and plus() to keep counts of the total work todo.
- Return type:
None
- check_page(page, counter)[source]#
Check whether any iw links should be added to the todo list.
- Return type:
None
- disambigMismatch(page, counter)[source]#
Check whether the given page has a different disambiguation status.
Returns a tuple (skip, alternativePage).
skip is True if the pages have mismatching statuses and the bot is either in autonomous mode, or the user chose not to use the given page.
alternativePage is either None, or a page that the user has chosen to use instead of the given page.
- finish()[source]#
Round up the subject, making any necessary changes.
This should be called exactly once after the todo list has gone empty.
- getFoundDisambig(site)[source]#
Return the first disambiguation found.
If we found a disambiguation on the given site while working on the subject, this method returns it. If several ones have been found, the first one will be returned. Otherwise, None will be returned.
- getFoundInCorrectNamespace(site)[source]#
Return the first page in the extended namespace.
If we found a page that has the expected namespace on the given site while working on the subject, this method returns it. If several ones have been found, the first one will be returned. Otherwise, None will be returned.
- getFoundNonDisambig(site)[source]#
Return the first non-disambiguation found.
If we found a non-disambiguation on the given site while working on the subject, this method returns it. If several ones have been found, the first one will be returned. Otherwise, None will be returned.
- namespaceMismatch(linkingPage, linkedPage, counter)[source]#
Check whether or not the given page has a different namespace.
Returns True if the namespaces are different and the user has selected not to follow the linked page.
- Return type:
bool
- openSites()[source]#
Iterator.
Yields (site, count) pairs: * site is a site where we still have work to do on * count is the number of items in that Site that need work on
- problem(txt, createneed=True)[source]#
Report a problem with the resolution of this subject.
- Parameters:
txt (str) –
createneed (bool) –
- Return type:
None
- static reportBacklinks(new, updatedSites)[source]#
Report missing back links. This will be called from finish() if needed.
updatedSites is a list that contains all sites we changed, to avoid reporting of missing backlinks for pages we already fixed
- Return type:
None
- translate(hints=None, keephintedsites=False)[source]#
Add the given translation hints to the todo list.
- Parameters:
keephintedsites (bool) –
- Return type:
None
- whatsNextPageBatch(site)[source]#
Return the next page batch.
By calling this method, you ‘promise’ this instance that you will preload all the ‘site’ Pages that are in the todo list.
This routine will return a list of pages that can be treated.
- scripts.interwiki.compareLanguages(old, new, insite, summary)[source]#
Compare changes and setup i18n message.
- scripts.interwiki.main(*args)[source]#
Process command line arguments and invoke bot.
If args is an empty list, sys.argv is used.
- Parameters:
args (str) – command line arguments
- Return type:
None
- scripts.interwiki.page_empty_check(page)[source]#
Return True if page should be skipped as it is almost empty.
Pages in content namespaces are considered empty if they contain less than 50 characters, and other pages are considered empty if they are not category pages and contain less than 4 characters excluding interlanguage links and categories.
- Return type:
bool
interwikidata script#
Script to handle interwiki links based on Wikibase
This script connects pages to Wikibase items using language links on the page. If multiple language links are present, and they are connected to different items, the bot skips. After connecting the page to an item, language links can be removed from the page.
These command line parameters can be used to specify which pages to work on:
This script supports use of pagegenerators
arguments.
Furthermore, the following command line parameters are supported:
-always If used, the bot won't ask if it should add the specified
text
-clean Clean pages.
-create Create items.
-merge Merge items.
-summary: Use your own edit summary for cleaning the page.
Note
This script is a
ConfigParserBot
. All options
can be set within a settings file which is scripts.ini by default.
- class scripts.interwikidata.IWBot(**kwargs)[source]#

- get_items()[source]#
Return all items of pages linked through the interwiki.
- Return type:
Set[ItemPage]
- handle_complicated()[source]#
Handle pages when they have interwiki conflict.
When this method returns True it means conflict has resolved and it’s okay to clean old interwiki links. This method should change self.current_item and fix conflicts. Change it in subclasses.
- Return type:
bool

listpages script#
Print a list of pages, as defined by page generator parameters
Optionally, it also prints page content to STDOUT or save it to a file in the current directory.
These parameters are supported to specify which pages titles to print:
-format Defines the output format.
Can be a custom string according to python string.format() notation
or can be selected by a number from following list
(1 is default format):
1 - '{num:4d} {page.title}'
--> 10 PageTitle
2 - '{num:4d} [[{page.title}]]'
--> 10 [[PageTitle]]
3 - '{page.title}'
--> PageTitle
4 - '[[{page.title}]]'
--> [[PageTitle]]
5 - '{num:4d} <<lightred>>{page.loc_title:<40}<<default>>'
--> 10 localised_Namespace:PageTitle (colorised in lightred)
6 - '{num:4d} {page.loc_title:<40} {page.can_title:<40}'
--> 10 localised_Namespace:PageTitle
canonical_Namespace:PageTitle
7 - '{num:4d} {page.loc_title:<40} {page.trs_title:<40}'
--> 10 localised_Namespace:PageTitle
outputlang_Namespace:PageTitle
(*) requires "outputlang:lang" set.
num is the sequential number of the listed page.
An empty format is equal to -notitle and just shows the total
amount of pages.
-outputlang Language for translation of namespaces.
-notitle Page title is not printed.
-get Page content is printed.
-save Save Page content to a file named as page.title(as_filename=True).
Directory can be set with -save:dir_name
If no dir is specified, current directory will be used.
-encode File encoding can be specified with '-encode:name' (name must be
a valid python encoding: utf-8, etc.).
If not specified, it defaults to config.textfile_encoding.
-put: Save the list to the defined page of the wiki. By default it does
not overwrite an existing page.
-overwrite Overwrite the page if it exists. Can only by applied with -put.
-summary: The summary text when the page is written. If it's one word just
containing letters, dashes and underscores it uses that as a
translation key.
Custom format can be applied to the following items extrapolated from a page object:
site: obtained from page._link._site.
title: obtained from page._link._title.
loc_title: obtained from page._link.canonical_title().
can_title: obtained from page._link.ns_title().
based either the canonical namespace name or on the namespace name
in the language specified by the -trans param;
a default value '******' will be used if no ns is found.
onsite: obtained from pywikibot.Site(outputlang, self.site.family).
trs_title: obtained from page._link.ns_title(onsite=onsite).
If selected format requires trs_title, outputlang must be set.
This script supports use of pagegenerators
arguments.

misspelling script#
This script fixes links that contain common spelling mistakes
This is only possible on wikis that have a template for these misspellings.
Command line options:
-always:XY instead of asking the user what to do, always perform the same
action. For example, XY can be "r0", "u" or "2". Be careful with
this option, and check the changes made by the bot. Note that
some choices for XY don't make sense and will result in a loop,
e.g. "l" or "m".
-main only check pages in the main namespace, not in the Talk,
Project, User, etc. namespaces.
-start:XY goes through all misspellings in the category on your wiki
that is defined (to the bot) as the category containing
misspelling pages, starting at XY. If the -start argument is not
given, it starts at the beginning.

noreferences script#
This script adds a missing references section to pages
It goes over multiple pages, searches for pages where <references /> is missing although a <ref> tag is present, and in that case adds a new references section.
These command line parameters can be used to specify which pages to work on:
This script supports use of pagegenerators
arguments.
Furthermore, the following command line parameters are supported:
-xml Retrieve information from a local XML dump (pages-articles
or pages-meta-current, see https://dumps.wikimedia.org).
Argument can also be given as "-xml:filename".
-always Don't prompt you for each replacement.
-quiet Use this option to get less output
If neither a page title nor a page generator is given, it takes all pages from the default maintenance category.
It is strongly recommended not to run this script over the entire article namespace (using the -start) parameter, as that would consume too much bandwidth. Instead, use the -xml parameter, or use another way to generate a list of affected articles
- class scripts.noreferences.NoReferencesBot(**kwargs)[source]#
Bases:

nowcommons script#
Script to delete files that are also present on Wikimedia Commons
Do not run this script on Wikimedia Commons itself. It works based on a given array of templates defined below.
Files are downloaded and compared. If the files match, it can be deleted on the source wiki. If multiple versions of the file exist, the script will not delete. If the SHA1 comparison is not equal, the script will not delete.
A sysop rights on the local wiki is required if you want all features of this script to work properly.
This script understands various command-line arguments:
-always run automatically, do not ask any questions. All files
that qualify for deletion are deleted. Reduced screen
output.
-replace replace links if the files are equal and the file names
differ
-replacealways replace links if the files are equal and the file names
differ without asking for confirmation
-replaceloose Do loose replacements. This will replace all occurrences
of the name of the file (and not just explicit file
syntax). This should work to catch all instances of the
file, including where it is used as a template parameter
or in galleries. However, it can also make more mistakes.
-replaceonly Use this if you do not have a local sysop rights, but do
wish to replace links from the NowCommons template.
Example
python pwb.py nowcommons -replaceonly -replaceloose -replacealways -replace

pagefromfile script#
Bot to upload pages from a text file
This bot takes its input from the UTF-8 text file that contains a number of pages to be put on the wiki. The pages should all have the same beginning and ending text (which may not overlap). The beginning and ending text is not uploaded with the page content by default.
As a pagename is by default taken the first text block from the page content marked in bold (wrapped between ‘’’ and ‘’’). If you expect the page title not to be present in the text or marked by different markers, use -titlestart, -titleend, and -notitle parameters.
Specific arguments:
-file:xxx The filename we are getting our material from,
the default value is "dict.txt"
-begin:xxx The text that marks the beginning of a page,
the default value is "{{-start-}}"
-end:xxx The text that marks the end of the page,
the default value is "{{-stop-}}"
-include Include the beginning and end markers to the page
-textonly Text is given without markers. Only one page text is given.
-begin and -end options are ignored.
-titlestart:xxx The text used in place of ''' for identifying
the beginning of a page title
-titleend:xxx The text used in place of ''' for identifying
the end of the page title
-notitle Do not include the page title, including titlestart
and titleend, to the page. Can be used to specify unique
page title above the page content
-title:xxx The page title is given directly. Ignores -titlestart,
-titleend and -notitle options
-nocontent:xxx If the existing page contains specified statement,
the page is skipped from editing
-noredirect Do not upload on redirect pages
-summary:xxx The text used as an edit summary for the upload.
If the page exists, standard messages for prepending,
appending, or replacement are appended after it
-autosummary Use MediaWiki's autosummary when creating a new page,
overrides -summary
-minor Set the minor edit flag on page edits
-showdiff Show difference between current page and page to upload,
also forces the bot to ask for confirmation
on every edit
If the page to be uploaded already exists, it is skipped by default. But you can override this behavior if you want to:
-appendtop Add the text to the top of the existing page
-appendbottom Add the text to the bottom of the existing page
-force Overwrite the existing page
It is possible to define a separator after the ‘append’ modes which is added between the existing and the new text. For example a parameter -appendtop:foo would add ‘foo’ between them. A new line can be added between them by specifying ‘n’ as a value.

parser_function_count script#
Used to find expensive templates that are subject to be converted to Lua
It counts parser functions and then orders templates by number of these and uploads the first n titles or alternatively templates having count()>n.
Parameters:
-start Will start from the given title (it does not have to exist).
Parameter may be given as "-start" or "-start:title".
Defaults to '!'.
-first Returns the first n results in decreasing order of number
of hits (or without ordering if used with -nosort)
Parameter may be given as "-first" or "-first:n".
-atleast Returns templates with at least n hits.
Parameter may be given as "-atleast" or "-atleast:n".
-nosort Keeps the original order of templates. Default behaviour is
to sort them by decreasing order of count(parserfunctions).
-save Saves the results. The file is in the form you may upload it
to a wikipage. May be given as "-save:<filename>".
If it exists, titles will be appended.
-upload Specify a page in your wiki where results will be uploaded.
Parameter may be given as "-upload" or "-upload:title".
Say good-bye to previous content if existed.
Precedence of evaluation: results are first sorted in decreasing order of templates, unless nosort is switched on. Then first n templates are taken if first is specified, and at last atleast is evaluated. If nosort and first are used together, the program will stop at the nth hit without scanning the rest of the template namespace. This may be used to run it in more sessions (continue with -start next time).
First is strict. That means if results #90-120 have the same number of parser functions and you specify -first:100, only the first 100 will be listed (even if atleast is used as well).
Should you specify neither first nor atleast, all templates using parser functions will be listed.

New in version 7.2.
patrol script#
The bot is meant to mark the edits based on info obtained by whitelist
This bot obtains a list of recent changes and newpages and marks the edits as patrolled based on a whitelist.
Whitelist Format#
The whitelist is formatted as a number of list entries. Any links outside of lists are ignored and can be used for documentation. In a list the first link must be to the username which should be white listed and any other link following is adding that page to the white list of that username. If the user edited a page on their white list it gets patrolled. It will also patrol pages which start with the mentioned link (e.g. [[foo]] will also patrol [[foobar]]).
To avoid redlinks it’s possible to use Special:PrefixIndex as a prefix so that it will list all pages which will be patrolled. The page after the slash will be used then.
On Wikisource, it’ll also check if the page is on the author namespace in which case it’ll also patrol pages which are linked from that page.
An example can be found at https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/User:Wikisource-bot/patrol_whitelist
Commandline parameters:
-namespace Filter the page generator to only yield pages in
specified namespaces

protect script#
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:
This script supports use of pagegenerators
arguments.
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 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"

redirect script#
Script to resolve double redirects, and to delete broken redirects
Requires access to MediaWiki’s maintenance pages or to a XML dump file. Delete function requires adminship.
Syntax:
python pwb.py redirect action [-arguments ...]
where action can be one of these
- double:
Shortcut: do. Fix redirects which point to other redirects.
- broken:
Shortcut: br. Tries to fix redirect which point to nowhere by using the last moved target of the destination page. If this fails and the -delete option is set, it either deletes the page or marks it for deletion depending on whether the account has admin rights. It will mark the redirect not for deletion if there is no speedy deletion template available.
- both:
Both of the above. Retrieves redirect pages from live wiki, not from a special page.
and arguments can be:
-xml Retrieve information from a local XML dump
(https://dumps.wikimedia.org). Argument can also be given as
"-xml:filename.xml". Cannot be used with -fullscan or -moves.
-fullscan Retrieve redirect pages from live wiki, not from a special page
Cannot be used with -xml.
-moves Use the page move log to find double-redirect candidates. Only
works with action "double", does not work with -xml.
NOTE: You may use only one of these options above.
If neither of -xml -fullscan -moves is given, info will be
loaded from a special page of the live wiki.
-offset:n With -moves, the number of hours ago to start scanning moved
pages. With -xml, the number of the redirect to restart with
(see progress). Otherwise, ignored.
-start:title The starting page title in each namespace. Page need not exist.
-until:title The possible last page title in each namespace. Page needs not
exist.
-limit:n The maximum count of redirects to work upon. If omitted, there
is no limit.
-delete Prompt the user whether broken redirects should be deleted (or
marked for deletion if the account has no admin rights) instead
of just skipping them.
-sdtemplate:x Add the speedy deletion template string including brackets.
This enables overriding the default template via i18n or
to enable speedy deletion for projects other than Wikipedias.
-always Don't prompt you for each replacement.

New in version 7.2.
replace script#
This bot will make direct text replacements
It will retrieve information on which pages might need changes either from an XML dump or a text file, or only change a single page.
These command line parameters can be used to specify which pages to work on:
This script supports use of pagegenerators
arguments.
Furthermore, the following command line parameters are supported:
-mysqlquery Retrieve information from a local database mirror.
If no query specified, bot searches for pages with
given replacements.
-xml Retrieve information from a local XML dump
(pages-articles or pages-meta-current, see
https://dumps.wikimedia.org). Argument can also
be given as "-xml:filename".
-regex Make replacements using regular expressions. If this argument
isn't given, the bot will make simple text replacements.
-nocase Use case insensitive regular expressions.
-dotall Make the dot match any character at all, including a newline.
Without this flag, '.' will match anything except a newline.
-multiline '^' and '$' will now match begin and end of each line.
-xmlstart (Only works with -xml) Skip all articles in the XML dump
before the one specified (may also be given as
-xmlstart:Article).
-addcat:cat_name Adds "cat_name" category to every altered page.
-excepttitle:XYZ Skip pages with titles that contain XYZ. If the -regex
argument is given, XYZ will be regarded as a regular
expression.
-requiretitle:XYZ Only do pages with titles that contain XYZ. If the -regex
argument is given, XYZ will be regarded as a regular
expression.
-excepttext:XYZ Skip pages which contain the text XYZ. If the -regex
argument is given, XYZ will be regarded as a regular
expression.
-exceptinside:XYZ Skip occurrences of the to-be-replaced text which lie
within XYZ. If the -regex argument is given, XYZ will be
regarded as a regular expression.
-exceptinsidetag:XYZ Skip occurrences of the to-be-replaced text which lie
within an XYZ tag.
-summary:XYZ Set the summary message text for the edit to XYZ, bypassing
the predefined message texts with original and replacements
inserted. To add the replacements to your summary use the
%(description)s placeholder, for example:
-summary:"Bot operated replacement: %(description)s"
Can't be used with -automaticsummary.
-automaticsummary Uses an automatic summary for all replacements which don't
have a summary defined. Can't be used with -summary.
-sleep:123 If you use -fix you can check multiple regex at the same time
in every page. This can lead to a great waste of CPU because
the bot will check every regex without waiting using all the
resources. This will slow it down between a regex and another
in order not to waste too much CPU.
-fix:XYZ Perform one of the predefined replacements tasks, which are
given in the dictionary 'fixes' defined inside the files
fixes.py and user-fixes.py.
The available fixes are listed in :py:mod:`pywikibot.fixes`.
-manualinput Request manual replacements via the command line input even
if replacements are already defined. If this option is set
(or no replacements are defined via -fix or the arguments)
it'll ask for additional replacements at start.
-pairsfile Lines from the given file name(s) will be read as replacement
arguments. i.e. a file containing lines "a" and "b", used as:
python pwb.py replace -page:X -pairsfile:file c d
will replace 'a' with 'b' and 'c' with 'd'.
-always Don't prompt you for each replacement
-quiet Don't prompt a message if a page keeps unchanged
-nopreload Do not preload pages. Useful if disabled on a wiki.
-recursive Recurse replacement as long as possible. Be careful, this
might lead to an infinite loop.
-allowoverlap When occurrences of the pattern overlap, replace all of them.
Be careful, this might lead to an infinite loop.
-fullsummary Use one large summary for all command line replacements.
- other: First argument is the old text, second argument is the new
text. If the -regex argument is given, the first argument will be regarded as a regular expression, and the second argument might contain expressions like 1 or g<name>. It is possible to introduce more than one pair of old text and replacement.
Examples
If you want to change templates from the old syntax, e.g. {{msg:Stub}}, to the new syntax, e.g. {{Stub}}, download an XML dump file (pages-articles) from https://dumps.wikimedia.org, then use this command:
python pwb.py replace -xml -regex "{{msg:(.*?)}}" "{{\1}}"
If you have a dump called foobar.xml and want to fix typos in articles, e.g. Errror -> Error, use this:
python pwb.py replace -xml:foobar.xml "Errror" "Error" -namespace:0
If you want to do more than one replacement at a time, use this:
python pwb.py replace -xml:foobar.xml "Errror" "Error" "Faail" "Fail" \
-namespace:0
If you have a page called ‘John Doe’ and want to fix the format of ISBNs, use:
python pwb.py replace -page:John_Doe -fix:isbn
This command will change ‘referer’ to ‘referrer’, but not in pages which talk about HTTP, where the typo has become part of the standard:
python pwb.py replace referer referrer -file:typos.txt -excepttext:HTTP
Please type “python pwb.py replace -help | more” if you can’t read the top of the help.

Bases:
SingleSiteBot
,ExistingPageBot
A bot that can do text replacements.
- Parameters:
generator (generator) – generator that yields Page objects
replacements (List[Tuple[Any, str]]) – a list of Replacement instances or sequences of length 2 with the original text (as a compiled regular expression) and replacement text (as a string).
exceptions (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) –
a dictionary which defines when not to change an occurrence. This dictionary can have these keys:
- title
A list of regular expressions. All pages with titles that are matched by one of these regular expressions are skipped.
- text-contains
A list of regular expressions. All pages with text that contains a part which is matched by one of these regular expressions are skipped.
- inside
A list of regular expressions. All occurrences are skipped which lie within a text region which is matched by one of these regular expressions.
- inside-tags
A list of strings. These strings must be keys from the dictionary in textlib._create_default_regexes() or must be accepted by textlib._get_regexes().
- Keyword Arguments:
allowoverlap – when matches overlap, all of them are replaced.
recursive – Recurse replacement as long as possible.
addcat – category to be added to every page touched
sleep – slow down between processing multiple regexes
summary – Set the summary message text bypassing the default
always – the user won’t be prompted before changes are made
site – Site the bot is working on.
Warning
Be careful with
recursive
parameter, this might lead to an infinite loop.site
parameter should be passed to constructor. Otherwise the bot takes the current site and warns the operator about the missing site

replicate_wiki script#
This bot replicates pages in a wiki to a second wiki within one family
Example
python pwb.py replicate_wiki [-r] -ns 10 -family:wikipedia -o nl li fy
or:
python pwb.py replicate_wiki [-r] -ns 10 -family:wikipedia -lang:nl li fy
to copy all templates from nlwiki to liwiki and fywiki. It will show which pages have to be changed if -r is not present, and will only actually write pages if -r /is/ present.
You can add replicate_replace to your user config file (user-config.py), which has the following format:
replicate_replace = {
'wikipedia:li': {'Hoofdpagina': 'Veurblaad'}
}
to replace all occurrences of ‘Hoofdpagina’ with ‘Veurblaad’ when writing to liwiki. Note that this does not take the origin wiki into account.
The following parameters are supported:
-r, --replace actually replace pages (without this option
you will only get an overview page)
-o, --original original wiki (you may use -lang:<code> option
instead)
-ns, --namespace specify namespace
-dns, --dest-namespace destination namespace (if different)

revertbot script#
This script can be used for reverting certain edits
The following command line parameters are supported:

Default is bot's username (site.username())
-rollback Rollback edits instead of reverting them.
Note that in rollback, no diff would be shown.
-limit:num Use the last num contributions to be checked for revert.
Default is 500.
Users who want to customize the behaviour should subclass the BaseRevertBot
and override its callback
method. Here is a sample:
class myRevertBot(BaseRevertBot)::
'''Example revert bot.'''
def callback(self, item) -> bool::
'''Sample callback function for 'private' revert bot.
:param item: an item from user contributions
:type item: dict
'''
if 'top' in item::
page = pywikibot.Page(self.site, item['title'])
text = page.get(get_redirect=True)
pattern = re.compile(r'\[\[.+?:.+?\..+?\]\]')
return bool(pattern.search(text))
return False
- class scripts.revertbot.BaseRevertBot(site=None, **kwargs)[source]#
Bases:
OptionHandler
Base revert bot.
Subclass this bot and override callback to get it to do something useful.
- available_options: Dict[str, Any] = {'comment': '', 'limit': 500, 'rollback': False}#
Handler configuration attribute. Only the keys of the dict can be passed as
__init__
options. The values are the default values. Overwrite this in subclasses!
- scripts.revertbot.main(*args)[source]#

If args is an empty list, sys.argv is used.
- Parameters:
args (str) – command line arguments

solve_disambiguation script#
Script to help a human solve disambiguations by presenting a set of options
Specify the disambiguation page on the command line.
The program will pick up the page, and look for all alternative links, and show them with a number adjacent to them. It will then automatically loop over all pages referring to the disambiguation page, and show 30 characters of context on each side of the reference to help you make the decision between the alternatives. It will ask you to type the number of the appropriate replacement, and perform the change.
It is possible to choose to replace only the link (just type the number) or replace both link and link-text (type ‘r’ followed by the number).
Multiple references in one page will be scanned in order, but typing ‘n’ (next) on any one of them will leave the complete page unchanged. To leave only some reference unchanged, use the ‘s’ (skip) option.
Command line options:
-pos:XXXX adds XXXX as an alternative disambiguation
-just only use the alternatives given on the command line, do not
read the page for other possibilities
-dnskip Skip links already marked with a disambiguation-needed
template (e.g., {{dn}})
-primary "primary topic" disambiguation (Begriffsklärung nach Modell 2).
That's titles where one topic is much more important, the
disambiguation page is saved somewhere else, and the important
topic gets the nice name.
-primary:XY like the above, but use XY as the only alternative, instead of
searching for alternatives in [[Keyword (disambiguation)]].
Note: this is the same as -primary -just -pos:XY
-file:XYZ reads a list of pages from a text file. XYZ is the name of the
file from which the list is taken. If XYZ is not given, the
user is asked for a filename. Page titles should be inside
[[double brackets]]. The -pos parameter won't work if -file
is used.
-always:XY instead of asking the user what to do, always perform the same
action. For example, XY can be "r0", "u" or "2". Be careful with
this option, and check the changes made by the bot. Note that
some choices for XY don't make sense and will result in a loop,
e.g. "l" or "m".
-main only check pages in the main namespace, not in the Talk,
Project, User, etc. namespaces.
-first Uses only the first link of every line on the disambiguation
page that begins with an asterisk. Useful if the page is full
of irrelevant links that are not subject to disambiguation.
You won't get all af them as options, just the first on each
line. For a moderated example see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szerdahely
A really exotic one is
https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brabant_(egyértelműsítő lap)
-start:XY goes through all disambiguation pages in the category on your
wiki that is defined (to the bot) as the category containing
disambiguation pages, starting at XY. If only '-start' or
'-start:' is given, it starts at the beginning.
-min:XX (XX being a number) only work on disambiguation pages for which
at least XX are to be worked on.
To complete a move of a page, one can use:
python pwb.py solve_disambiguation -just -pos:New_Name Old_Name

speedy_delete script#
Help sysops to quickly check and/or delete pages listed for speedy deletion
This bot trawls through candidates for speedy deletion in a fast and semi-automated fashion. It displays the contents of each page one at a time and provides a prompt for the user to skip or delete the page. Of course, this will require a sysop account.
Future upcoming options include the ability to untag a page as not being eligible for speedy deletion, as well as the option to commute its sentence to Proposed Deletion (see [[en:WP:PROD]] for more details). Also, if the article text is long, to prevent terminal spamming, it might be a good idea to truncate it just to the first so many bytes.
Warning
This tool shows the contents of the top revision only. It is possible that a vandal has replaced a perfectly good article with nonsense, which has subsequently been tagged by someone who didn’t realize it was previously a good article. The onus is on you to avoid making these mistakes.
Note
This script currently only works for the Wikipedia project.

template script#
Very simple script to replace a template with another one
It also converts the old MediaWiki boilerplate format to the new format.
Syntax:
python pwb.py template [-remove] [xml[:filename]] oldTemplate \
[newTemplate]
Specify the template on the command line. The program will pick up the template page, and look for all pages using it. It will then automatically loop over them, and replace the template.
Command line options:
-remove Remove every occurrence of the template from every article
-subst Resolves the template by putting its text directly into the
article. This is done by changing {{...}} or {{msg:...}} into
{{subst:...}}. If you want to use safesubst, you
can do -subst:safe. Substitution is not available inside
<ref>...</ref>, <gallery>...</gallery>, <poem>...</poem>
and <pagelist ... /> tags.
-assubst Replaces the first argument as old template with the second
argument as new template but substitutes it like -subst does.
Using both options -remove and -subst in the same command line has
the same effect.
-xml retrieve information from a local dump
(https://dumps.wikimedia.org). If this argument isn't given,
info will be loaded from the maintenance page of the live wiki.
argument can also be given as "-xml:filename.xml".
-onlyuser: Only process pages edited by a given user
-skipuser: Only process pages not edited by a given user
-timestamp: (With -onlyuser or -skipuser). Only check for a user where his
edit is not older than the given timestamp. Timestamp must be
written in MediaWiki timestamp format which is "%Y%m%d%H%M%S".
If this parameter is missed, all edits are checked but this is
restricted to the last 100 edits.
-summary: Lets you pick a custom edit summary. Use quotes if edit summary
contains spaces.
-always Don't bother asking to confirm any of the changes, Just Do It.
-addcat: Appends the given category to every page that is edited. This is
useful when a category is being broken out from a template
parameter or when templates are being upmerged but more
information must be preserved.
- other: First argument is the old template name, second one is the new
name. If you want to address a template which has spaces, put quotation marks around it, or use underscores.
Examples
If you have a template called [[Template:Cities in Washington]] and want to change it to [[Template:Cities in Washington state]], start:
python pwb.py template "Cities in Washington" "Cities in Washington state"
Move the page [[Template:Cities in Washington]] manually afterwards.
If you have a template called [[Template:test]] and want to substitute it only on pages in the User: and User talk: namespaces, do:
python pwb.py template test -subst -namespace:2 -namespace:3
Note that -namespace: is a global Pywikibot parameter
This next example substitutes the template lived with a supplied edit summary. It only performs substitutions in main article namespace and doesn’t prompt to start replacing. Note that -putthrottle: is a global Pywikibot parameter:
python pwb.py template -putthrottle:30 -namespace:0 lived -subst -always \
-summary:"BOT: Substituting {{lived}}, see [[WP:SUBST]]."
This next example removes the templates {{cfr}}, {{cfru}}, and {{cfr-speedy}} from five category pages as given:
python pwb.py template cfr cfru cfr-speedy -remove -always \
-page:"Category:Mountain monuments and memorials" \
-page:"Category:Indian family names" \
-page:"Category:Tennis tournaments in Belgium" \
-page:"Category:Tennis tournaments in Germany" \
-page:"Category:Episcopal cathedrals in the United States" \
-summary:"Removing Cfd templates from category pages that survived."
This next example substitutes templates test1, test2, and space test on all user talk pages (namespace #3):
python pwb.py template test1 test2 "space test" -subst -ns:3 -always

upload script#
Script to upload images to Wikipedia
The following parameters are supported:
-keep Keep the filename as is
-filename: Target filename without the namespace prefix
-prefix: Add specified prefix to every filename.
-noverify Do not ask for verification of the upload description if one
is given
-abortonwarn: Abort upload on the specified warning type. If no warning type
is specified, aborts on any warning.
-ignorewarn: Ignores specified upload warnings. If no warning type is
specified, ignores all warnings. Use with caution
-chunked: Upload the file in chunks (more overhead, but restartable). If
no value is specified the chunk size is 1 MiB. The value must
be a number which can be preceded by a suffix. The units are::
No suffix: Bytes
'k': Kilobytes (1000 B)
'M': Megabytes (1000000 B)
'Ki': Kibibytes (1024 B)
'Mi': Mebibytes (1024x1024 B)
The suffixes are case insensitive.
-async Make potentially large file operations asynchronous on the
server side when possible.
-always Don't ask the user anything. This will imply -keep and
-noverify and require that either -abortonwarn or -ignorewarn
is defined for all. It will also require a valid file name and
description. It'll only overwrite files if -ignorewarn includes
the 'exists' warning.
-recursive When the filename is a directory it also uploads the files from
the subdirectories.
-summary: Pick a custom edit summary for the bot.
-descfile: Specify a filename where the description is stored
It is possible to combine -abortonwarn and -ignorewarn so that if the specific warning is given it won’t apply the general one but more specific one. So if it should ignore specific warnings and abort on the rest it’s possible by defining no warning for -abortonwarn and the specific warnings for -ignorewarn. The order does not matter. If both are unspecific or a warning is specified by both, it’ll prefer aborting.
If any other arguments are given, the first is either URL, filename or directory to upload, and the rest is a proposed description to go with the upload. If none of these are given, the user is asked for the directory, file or URL to upload. The bot will then upload the image to the wiki.
The script will ask for the location of an image(s), if not given as a parameter, and for a description.
watchlist script#

- Return type:
None
weblinkchecker script#
This bot is used for checking external links found at the wiki
It checks several pages at once, with a limit set by the config variable max_external_links, which defaults to 50.
The bot won’t change any wiki pages, it will only report dead links such that people can fix or remove the links themselves.
The bot will store all links found dead in a .dat file in the deadlinks subdirectory. To avoid the removing of links which are only temporarily unavailable, the bot ONLY reports links which were reported dead at least two times, with a time lag of at least one week. Such links will be logged to a .txt file in the deadlinks subdirectory.
The .txt file uses wiki markup and so it may be useful to post it on the wiki and then exclude that page from subsequent runs. For example if the page is named Broken Links, exclude it with ‘-titleregexnot:^Broken Links$’
After running the bot and waiting for at least one week, you can re-check those pages where dead links were found, using the -repeat parameter.
In addition to the logging step, it is possible to automatically report dead links to the talk page of the article where the link was found. To use this feature, set report_dead_links_on_talk = True in your user config file, or specify “-talk” on the command line. Adding “-notalk” switches this off irrespective of the configuration variable.
When a link is found alive, it will be removed from the .dat file.
These command line parameters can be used to specify which pages to work on:
-repeat Work on all pages were dead links were found before. This is
useful to confirm that the links are dead after some time (at
least one week), which is required before the script will report
the problem.
-namespace Only process templates in the namespace with the given number or
name. This parameter may be used multiple times.
-xml Should be used instead of a simple page fetching method from
pagegenerators.py for performance and load issues
-xmlstart Page to start with when using an XML dump
-ignore HTTP return codes to ignore. Can be provided several times :
-ignore:401 -ignore:500
This script supports use of pagegenerators
arguments.
Furthermore, the following command line parameters are supported:
-talk Overrides the report_dead_links_on_talk config variable, enabling
the feature.
-notalk Overrides the report_dead_links_on_talk config variable, disabling
the feature.
-day Do not report broken link if the link is there only since
x days or less. If not set, the default is 7 days.
The following config variables are supported:
max_external_links The maximum number of web pages that should be
loaded simultaneously. You should change this
according to your Internet connection speed.
Be careful: if it is set too high, the script
might get socket errors because your network
is congested, and will then think that the page
is offline.
report_dead_links_on_talk If set to true, causes the script to report dead
links on the article's talk page if (and ONLY if)
the linked page has been unavailable at least two
times during a timespan of at least one week.
weblink_dead_days sets the timespan (default: one week) after which
a dead link will be reported
Examples
Loads all wiki pages in alphabetical order using the Special:Allpages feature:
python pwb.py weblinkchecker -start:!

New in version 7.2.
welcome script#
Script to welcome new users
This script works out of the box for Wikis that have been defined in the script.
Ensure you have community support before running this bot!
Everything that needs customisation to support additional projects is indicated by comments.
Description of basic functionality
Request a list of new users every period (default: 3600 seconds) You can choose to break the script after the first check (see arguments)
Check if new user has passed a threshold for a number of edits (default: 1 edit)
Optional: check username for bad words in the username or if the username consists solely of numbers; log this somewhere on the wiki (default: False) Update: Added a whitelist (explanation below).
If user has made enough edits (it can be also 0), check if user has an empty talk page
If user has an empty talk page, add a welcome message.
Optional: Once the set number of users have been welcomed, add this to the configured log page, one for each day (default: True)
If no log page exists, create a header for the log page first.
This script (by default not yet implemented) uses two templates that need to be on the local wiki
{{WLE}}: contains mark up code for log entries (just copy it from Commons)
{{welcome}}: contains the information for new users
This script understands the following command-line arguments:
-edit[:#] Define how many edits a new user needs to be welcomed
(default: 1, max: 50)
-time[:#] Define how many seconds the bot sleeps before restart
(default: 3600)
-break Use it if you don't want that the Bot restart at the end
(it will break) (default: False)
-nlog Use this parameter if you do not want the bot to log all
welcomed users (default: False)
-limit[:#] Use this parameter to define how may users should be
checked (default:50)
-offset[:TIME] Skip the latest new users (those newer than TIME)
to give interactive users a chance to welcome the
new users (default: now)
Timezone is the server timezone, GMT for Wikimedia
TIME format : yyyymmddhhmmss or yyyymmdd
-timeoffset[:#] Skip the latest new users, accounts newer than
# minutes
-numberlog[:#] The number of users to welcome before refreshing the
welcome log (default: 4)
-filter Enable the username checks for bad names (default: False)
-ask Use this parameter if you want to confirm each possible
bad username (default: False)
-random Use a random signature, taking the signatures from a wiki
page (for instruction, see below).
-file[:#] Use a file instead of a wikipage to take the random sign.
If you use this parameter, you don't need to use -random.
-sign Use one signature from command line instead of the default
-savedata This feature saves the random signature index to allow to
continue to welcome with the last signature used.
-sul Welcome the auto-created users (default: False)
-quiet Prevents users without contributions are displayed
***************************** GUIDE *******************************
* Report, Bad and white list guide: *
Set in the code which page it will use to load the badword, the whitelist and the report
In these page you have to add a “tuple” with the names that you want to add in the two list. For example: (‘cat’, ‘mouse’, ‘dog’) You can write also other text in the page, it will work without problem.
What will do the two pages? Well, the Bot will check if a badword is in the username and set the “warning” as True. Then the Bot check if a word of the whitelist is in the username. If yes it remove the word and recheck in the bad word list to see if there are other badword in the username. Example
dio is a badword
Claudio is a normal name
The username is “Claudio90 fuck!”
The Bot finds dio and sets “warning”
The Bot finds Claudio and sets “ok”
The Bot finds fuck at the end and sets “warning”
Result: The username is reported.
When a user is reported you have to check him and do
If he’s ok, put the {{welcome}}
If he’s not, block him
You can decide to put a “you are blocked, change another username” template or not.
Delete the username from the page.
IMPORTANT : The Bot check the user in this order
Search if he has a talkpage (if yes, skip)
Search if he’s blocked, if yes he will be skipped
Search if he’s in the report page, if yes he will be skipped
If no, he will be reported.
* Random signature guide: *
Some welcomed users will answer to the one who has signed the welcome message. When you welcome many new users, you might be overwhelmed with such answers. Therefore you can define usernames of other users who are willing to receive some of these messages from newbies.
Set the page that the bot will load
Add the signatures in this way:
*<SPACE>SIGNATURE <NEW LINE>
Example of signatures:
<pre>
* [[User:Filnik|Filnik]]
* [[User:Rock|Rock]]
</pre>
Note
The white space and <pre></pre> aren’t required but I suggest you to use them.
**************************** Badwords ******************************
The list of Badwords of the code is opened. If you think that a word is international and it must be blocked in all the projects feel free to add it. If also you think that a word isn’t so international, feel free to delete it.
However, there is a dinamic-wikipage to load that badwords of your project or you can add them directly in the source code that you are using without adding or deleting.
Some words, like “Administrator” or “Dio” (God in italian) or “Jimbo” aren’t badwords at all but can be used for some bad-nickname.
