I don't see anything like a compulsory username in this policy. I think Pywikibot has a UA that complies, it does not have to be unique and personal. I rememberd something like statistical purpose but may have mismatched something.
But I have no problem with going to wikitech-l if you understand the policy in a different way. 2014-07-10 21:19 GMT+02:00 Amir Ladsgroup <[email protected]>: > It's because of user-agent policy: > https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User-Agent_policy > > I think we can discuss this in a more public place like wikitech-l > > Do you agree? > > > On Thu, Jul 10, 2014 at 11:34 PM, Bináris <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I think e-mail address is something personal and sensitive and is out of >> the reach of CUs and nowhere in Wikipedia is compulsory.
