TASK DESCRIPTION
**What happens?**:
My bot using the `pagefromfile.py` script has stopped working. The script
asks for manual confirmation of page rewriting, which cannot be done because it
works autonomously.
Here's a command and a confirmation request. I hid a redundant ones with
ellipsis, added the "-simulate" option.
pwb.py pagefromfile -file:wikisections.txt -begin:{{-start-}}
-end:{{-end-}} -notitle "-summary:обновление списка" -family:wikipedia -lang:ru
-user:TextworkerBot -force -simulate
Reading '.../wikisections.txt'...
Page ... already exists, ***overwriting!
Edit summary: ...
Do you want to accept these changes? ([y]es, [N]o, [a]ll, [q]uit):
**What should have happened instead?**:
Previously, I just used the `-force` option.
As far as I studied the code, confirmation requests are creating in
`user_confirm()` at bot.py:1328. This is disabled only if the `-always` option
is present.
But pagefromfile.py does not handle the `-always` option in any way, so
bot.py doesn't receive it. And it is not mentioned in the script help.
So, the bot cannot work autonomously.
**Software version (if not a Wikimedia wiki), browser information,
screenshots, other information, etc**:
Pwb 6.6.1
