Alright, I tried OAuth and when I was creating the consumer on meta, I made
sure to check "Block and unblock users". However, when the bot gets to the
point that it tries to block an IP I get this error message:
...

pywikibot.exceptions.NoUsername: No sysop is permitted with OAuth
Looking at Site.py
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/PWBC/browse/master/pywikibot/site.py$2067-2070>
it seems like the code actually disallows using OAuth for sysop accounts. (It
seems this is because OAuth does not tie the bot to a username? but that
doesn't make sense)
Anyway, unless I am doing something overtly wrong, OAuth is not going to be
the answer here. Let me see if I can get BotPasswords to work.
