TASK DESCRIPTION
**Steps to replicate the issue** (include links if applicable):
- Create a Python file with the following code:
import pywikibot
site = pywikibot.Site("commons", "commons")
site.login()
- Install the latest version of Pywikibot from PyPI:
$ pip install pywikibot

- Try to run your Python script:
$ python3 pywikibot_error_repro.py

raise NoUsernameError(
pywikibot.exceptions.NoUsernameError: ERROR: username for commons:commons
is undefined.
If you have a username for that site, please add a line to user config file
(user_config.py) as follows:
usernames['commons']['commons'] = 'myUsername'
CRITICAL: Exiting due to uncaught exception NoUsernameError: ERROR:
username for commons:commons is undefined.
If you have a username for that site, please add a line to user config file
(user_config.py) as follows:
usernames['commons']['commons'] = 'myUsername'
**What happens?**:
The interesting bit of that error is this line:
If you have a username for that site, please add a line to user config file
(user_config.py) as follows:
usernames['commons']['commons'] = 'myUsername'
If you actually follow that instruction and try re-running the original
script, it will fail with the same error.
I believe I'm actually meant to add this line to `user-config.py` (with a
hyphen) rather than `user_config.py` (with an underscore). If I try that, my
script works.
**What should have happened instead?**:
Pywikibot should have given me an error message with the correct filename.
**Software version** (on `Special:Version` page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis
like Wikipedia):
Here's the output of `version.py`:
$ python3 ~/repos/pywikibot/pwb.py version

Interestingly this issue does not occur if I run the latest version of
Pywikibot from Git (commit 667f97f
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rPWBC667f97fa95ead07065c0a225e09fe37fcced1dd7>)
– I get a different error message that doesn't mention `user_config.py`. But I
can still see the error message in the code in Git:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/pywikibot/core/+/667f97fa95ead07065c0a225e09fe37fcced1dd7/pywikibot/login.py#108
**Other information** (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
I found two other references to `user_config.py` which should probably be
corrected at the same time:
