Now I don't use two accounts in the same script invocation. But I use a
collection of scripts (self written, not part of pywikibot) and use them
with different bot accounts. How to use different accounts in the same
invocation, that I don't know. Can someone other help, because I see it
similar as masti, this seems not possible anymore after the deprecation
of sysopnames.

how You use different configs in the same script?
PYWIKIBOT_DIR points to one config.
It used to be possible to specify normal and admin account in the same
user-config.py
As I I understand it is not the case anymore.
What I need is a possibility to edit with a normal bot account and,
for example if the page is empty delete it using bot admin account. Is
this possible within one config?
PS: yes, I do have 2 bot accounts: one a normal bot and another with
admin rights

Thanks Johnuniq and also xqt for the good hints,
at last I found my mistake. I'm operating two bot accounts at the
moment. One does all the heavy lifting, but hasn't any sysop rights.
The other one is for sysop actions only (was a wish by the community).
The solution provided by piwikibot is to use the env
variable PYWIKIBOT_DIR. I did that to point to the alternative
user-config. But I made a mistake and I kid you not: A leading
whitespace infront of the variable :facepalm: ... therefor the
framework fall back to the normal pywikibot config path and loaded
the config of the non-sysop bot :-(.
Thanks to all for the help
Cheers Erik

I upgraded all my pip modules yesterday, including pywikibot. Your
line numbers are 18 lines different from mine in _pages.py so you
might upgrade although that is unlikely to help.
Browsing around the source shows that @need_right('protect') is in
site/_apisite.py and is responsible for the message: 'User "None" does
not have required user right "protect"'.
site/_basesite.py returns None if self.logged_in() tests as false. My
guess is that you are not logged in and it looks like it would be easy
to stuff up Special:OAuthConsumerRegistration. I would try manually
entering lines of code into python to mimic a simple bot start-up,
then see if site.user() shows the bot name.

This experiment was the initial reason for my post. I have one bot

The User "None" seems concerning. Is there a chance I screwed up the
scopes when I generated the OAuth token at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:OAuthConsumerRegistration/propose/oauth2?

I don't know but many years ago I ran an admin bot on a non-WMF wiki.
A separate sysopnames variable was used to specify a user with admin
credentials. Sysopnames was removed from pywikibot and whereas I've
never used it, the theory is that now you have only a single bot user
as defined in usernames. Pywikibot uses that user for normal actions
and for admin actions. If admin privilege is needed, I think it first
checks if the user has the required privilege. Some info on what I'm
saying is at
https://www.mail-archive.com/pywikibot@lists.wikimedia.org/msg00712.html
So if you had
usernames['wikisource']['de'] = 'Example'
where Example has the bot and sysop flags, it should work. Try a
simple script to delete a junk user subpage and report what
happens. I
don't know if it's possible with MediaWiki, but it's conceivable that
pywikibot does not give itself admin credentials unless required
(which might explain your debug results).

No worries,
I do software dev for a living. It's all local and no one is
checking in credentials. But that wasn't really the question here.

I'm a total newbie at pywikibot, but let me address the general
issue of putting credentials in config files.
Be very wary of how you store credentials. You should make sure
they're in a file which is read-protected, and not in source
control. Otherwise the entire world will have access to your
secret credentials.

Hi list,
I operate currently a bot on the German Wikisource. The bot was
granted both groups, admin and bot. It is intended to be used as
automated protection bot. I'm having trouble to put the right
credentials in my user-config.py.
It is currently coded like following pseudo-code:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
family = 'wikisource'
mylang = 'de'
usernames['wikisource']['de'] = '******'
authenticate['de.wikisource.org'] = (....*****.....)
the problem with this is that the framework only detect my bot as
bot not as sysadmin. Groups taken from the debugging output:
['bot', '*', 'user', 'autoconfirmed']
What do I have to add to my config, that the bot also get picket
up as sysadmin? I already read
(https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/user-config.py)
but doesn't make sense for me. It will not change anything if add
the botname a second time to the usernames dictionary.
Best Regards
Erik Sommer
