Category: featured Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jesse Plamondon-Willard (pathoschild) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Let bots use canonical namespaces Initial Comment: Let bots use canonical namespaces instead of translations from the family files. This is useful for crosswiki bots, where invalid namespace names may not be detected by the operator (most recently [1][2]). The attached patch implements this by adding an optional constructor argument to Page. For example, the current behaviour is unchanged: ns = wikipedia.Page(site, title).namespaceName() # Utilisateur:Pathoschild But a constructor argument enables canonical namespaces: ns = wikipedia.Page(site, title, translateNamespace=False).namespaceName() # User:Pathoschild [1] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Pathoschild?oldid=5269904#Probl.C3.A8me_avec_ton_bot_sur_Wikinews_portugais [2] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Pathoschild?oldid=5269904#Polish_Wikivoyage_user_js_files ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=603141&aid=3605726&group_id=93107 _______________________________________________ Pywikipedia-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikipedia-bugs
