Category: interwiki Group: None >Status: Pending Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Marc-Etienne Vargenau (vargenau) >Assigned to: Purodha B Blissenbach (purodha) Summary: Add a new option to interwiki.py Initial Comment: Hello, When working on years or birth categories for instance, I give a huge number of hints. And I now these hint are right (when they exist). If there is a wrong link somewhere (e.g. en:category:2000_deaths linking to fr:category:naissance_en_2000), I get a huge number of questions to which I always answer "1" (because the hint is proposed first). So I propose to create a new option "-hintisright" (or something). In that case, if there is a conflict between a hint and other page(s), the hint is selected automatically. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Purodha B Blissenbach (purodha) Date: 2009-02-12 12:50 Message: I gave it a try with -hintsareright If used, and a hint to an existing page is given, any interlanguage links to the site of that hint are ignored, and a note "extra interwiki on hinted site ignored" with the appropriate names is output to the console. Hints can be given on the command line, in a file, etc. and interactively. Before interactive hints are knows, i.e. concerning links in the starting page, -hintsareright has no effect. It also does not work on hints to sites where there are no pages found. If you need that, it is an extra feature which, I believe, is a bit more complicated to implement. Not using -hintsareright should not make a difference to what we had before, so I just submitted the change to svn as r 6341 for you to try it out. Let me know if it fits your needs. If so, this bug can be closed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Marc-Etienne Vargenau (vargenau) Date: 2009-02-03 13:36 Message: Hello, Thank you for your comment. But I do not think the -localright parameter does what I need. I do not want to modify the local page because I do not want to add links that do not exist (yet). I am 100% sure the hint "fr:category:décès_en_2000" (for "en:category:2000_deaths") is right if it exists, but it might not exist yet. Since the code for -localright exists, maybe the code for -hintisright can be easily implemented. Best regards, ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Purodha B Blissenbach (purodha) Date: 2009-01-23 17:34 Message: Hint: You can also solve the problem by inserting all the hints in the starting page, and use the -localright parameter. If you are uncertain that you got all, use -confirm and you will be able to interrupt the bot when it comes accross a missing link which it tries to delete. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=603141&aid=1912001&group_id=93107 _______________________________________________ Pywikipedia-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikipedia-l
