However, given that the user is provided by command line, and that the family/lang tuple is provided in the site constructor, what is the point of providing a user list per site? It is not like pywikibot will attempt to fallback through this list. True that, it can be just one username per site, the preferred one? But listing that usernames can be actually useful as a safeguard, to not allow an username that's defined, but not allowed in usernames list, in case I don't want to use one username somewhere for some reason. Feel free to make it only default username, that's fine as well, just thinking loud :). >> To put it simply, Czech Wikipedia is less developped than the English one speaking of policies, which leaves us with only a policy about how a human can become an admin, but none policy about how can a computer/bot become an admin. Bureacurats don't want to implement a precedent with granting sysop rights to alterego accounts, which is what bot account kinda-is. For instance, all my adminbot activity is distinguished only by summary prefixed with `Bot`, and runs from my own account. > > This is risking your own personal account getting blocked for bot activity, in the case that it malfunctions. I'm not saying that's the best way, I'm just saying that's the reason why it is separated :).
