[Pywikipedia-bugs] [Maniphest] [Created] T198812: Hint the user to use the -overwrite option when output already has content

[Wesalius]

Wesalius created this task. Wesalius added a project: Pywikibot-core. Herald added subscribers: pywikibot-bugs-list, Aklapper.

TASK DESCRIPTION

When user tries to output djvutext.py to a page that already has content, pwb states

pywikibot.output('Page %s already exists, not adding!' % page)

Even though solution can be found in documentation, it would be easier for user to get a hint on how to solve this with adding statement similar to:

pywikibot.output(
    'Page %s already exists, not adding!\n'
    'Use -overwrite option to overwrite the output page.')
