Mick Lauer article

This seems to be meet all the criteria for moving to draft, only there was already a redirect. If there was only a redirect I would take it to RFD where it would probably be deleted. I don't know if it should be moved to draft including the first two redirect revisions of if it needs splitting. Peter James (talk) 11:09, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

@Peter James, I ahead and draftify it if you want. You can then restore the redirect. — Qwerfjkltalk 11:32, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Converting Wikidata redirects

You have doing a lot of replacement of {{Wikidata redirect}}to{{R with Wikidata item}}, such as this oneatErfüllungspolitik but I'm not sure this is correct. According to the template instructions at Template:Wikidata redirect/doc, "Wikidata redirect may be used on all redirects." Perhaps you should stop doing these, until it's clear that these changes are desirable. Mathglot (talk) 22:15, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

@Mathglot, see Template talk:Redirect category shell#Restarting discussion on automatically sensing wikidata redirects. — Qwerfjkltalk 22:17, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

    "Wikidata redirect should only be used on soft redirects."

    I'm not really sure how {{Wikidata redirect}} and {{R with Wikidata item}} differ (they both fill the same category, it seems; is it just aesthetics to fit with other rcats?), but {{Wikidata redirect}}'s documentation does say While similar to {{Wiktionary redirect}}, that template is only used on soft redirects, while Wikidata redirect may be used on all redirects, so you may want to edit it/clarify the situation. eviolite (talk) 04:01, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

    pywikibot

    Hi. I have been using pywikibot since December 2021. I have had various experiences of many types. I saw your conversation on Novem's talkpage, and Discord as well. But your issues were solved by the time I saw them. Please feel free to ask any doubts/quires that you may face in the future. I am not an expert in pywikibot/toolforge, but have faced many problems, so I know many answers as well. Regards, —usernamekiran (talk) 06:59, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

    @Usernamekiran, I'm stuck trying to login, as I mentioned on Discord. — Qwerfjkltalk 12:58, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
    I thought it was resolved. I forgot how I did the installation on my windows setup (whether it was git clone from gerrit, or pip install like you did), but the high chances are I followed the steps from this older version of the guide. I checked the link on that older version, and it leads to toolforge, which seems to have latest version of pywikibot. So you would have to download, and extract it C:Users\<user>pywikibot, but before that you need to remove your previous installation. Then just to be sure, run C:\Users\<user>\pywikibot>python pwb.py version If the version command runs successfully, then the first step is done. In second step, you will need a Special:BotPasswords. Once you have botpass, run the command C:\Users\<user>\pywikibot>python pwb.py generate_user_files This will generate user-config.py interactively. If user-password.py is not generated, create it in same directory as of user-config. Your username, and other details go in user-config file, where as user-password would have only one line (in my case there are two lines, as I run two bots by two different usernmaes on two projects - en, and mr). The line should be tuple, here is my line for en: ('en', 'wikipedia', 'KiranBOT', BotPassword('<bot-name>', '<auto-generated-botpass>')). Regarding the login, you don't have to login from your script, you have to define a site then user-config logs you in accordingly. For example, if my script defines the the site as en.wikipedia, then I am logged in en credentials, in case its mrwiki, then its KiranBOT_II. You can download and run this script by Mz7 as it is for a better idea. Just change TABLE_LOCATION = 'Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/SPI/Cases'toTABLE_LOCATION = 'User:Qwerfjkl/Sandbox'. Also, even if you already have a botpass, I would recommend to revoke the bot's permission to create new pages, in case you don't have botpass, keep the permission unchecked while creating botpass. —usernamekiran (talk) 17:43, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
    more details of user-config on mediawiki. I recommend running the command, and then editing/customising the files per personal requirements/preferences. —usernamekiran (talk) 17:46, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
    @Usernamekiran, okay. I guess I'll try pip uninstall pywikibot or something. Does the pywikibot installation come with mwparserfromhell? — Qwerfjkltalk 20:41, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
    I am not sure, I use the parser though. After installing the new pywikibot, try pip. If it's present it will say so, and skip, if not then it will install it. —usernamekiran (talk) 20:46, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
    @Usernamekiran, Where do I need to keep pywikibot relative to the script I'm running? E.g. if I have my script at FILEPATH, do I need the pywikibot folder at FILEPATH/pywikibot? — Qwerfjkltalk 17:42, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
    I did some experimenting after reading your question. The script you want to run should be in the same folder/directory where pwb.py is located. You also need to be in the same directory on your command prompt while executing/running the script. Were you able to login? —usernamekiran (talk) 02:16, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
    @Usernamekiran, Yes, I got it to work. Now I just need to move it to Toolforge. — Qwerfjkltalk 07:02, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
    if you got putty working, then moving it to toolforge wouldn't be difficult. I think I configured putty with toolforge after a month I started using the bot from toolforge. —usernamekiran (talk) 07:57, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
    @Usernamekiran, do you know how to update python on Toolforge? It says it's 2.7.16 on Toolforge, and I need python 3 for pywikibot to run. — Qwerfjkltalk 19:54, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
    I don't think we need to install python on toolforge. Which steps are you following? —usernamekiran (talk) 21:24, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
    ┌───────────────────────────┘
    @Usernamekiran, I was just testing what happens if I run the code on Toolforge (via PuTTY). It gave a bunch of errors because the pywikibot code was written in python 3. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:57, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
    what error are you getting? also what method did you use to set-up the pywikibot on toolforge? —usernamekiran (talk) 01:20, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
    @Usernamekiran, I got a syntax error. I just transferred pywikibot to Toolforge with WinSCP. — Qwerfjkltalk 07:06, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
    it wouldn't work. You have to go through the steps provided here. —usernamekiran (talk) 07:13, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
    @Usernamekiran, okay. Should I install from Git or PyPI? — Qwerfjkltalk 07:17, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
    git. —usernamekiran (talk) 07:20, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
    @Usernamekiran, well, that seemed to work. It says use
    tools.TOOLNAME@tools-sgebastion-10:~$ toolforge-jobs run my-cool-job --command "$HOME/pwbvenv/bin/python3 $HOME/my-cool-script.py"
    to run the script once. What should go in place of my-cool-job? An arbitrary name? — Qwerfjkltalk 20:11, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
    yes, it is an arbitrary placeholder name, can be anything. —usernamekiran (talk) 20:55, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

    a little bit off topic

    How good are you with python? I am a little stuck with my current script. Would you be able to help me? —usernamekiran (talk) 22:02, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

    @Usernamekiran, I'm fairly good. What's the problem? — Qwerfjkltalk 22:18, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
    Well, I have one working script, and I want to update it with a new logic/methodology. I have most of the work with the new script, but it still has some syntax errors, and some other minor flaws. Finalising the new script is not much of a work, as almost most of the coding has been done. It just needs to be re-arranged, and fixed. —usernamekiran (talk) 22:26, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
    @Usernamekiran, sure, I'm happy to help. — Qwerfjkltalk 22:29, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
    Can you please send me an email thorough wikipedia, then I can reply to it including my scripts attached. —usernamekiran (talk) 23:07, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
    @Usernamekiran, done. — Qwerfjkltalk 16:46, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
