Bug ID: 69895
Summary: Calling any script passing the -help argument,
performs an api call to the default configured wiki
Product: Pywikibot
Version: core (2.0)
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Web browser: ---
Mobile Platform: ---
When calling any script with the -help argument to see the parameters it can
handle, the bot makes a call to the api of the default configured wiki.
I noticed it because my default configured wiki is a test wiki hosted locally,
and I have the webserver stopped when I don't need it running. When I need to
run the bot, I manually specify -family:WHATEVER
Under that circumstances, every attempt to run -help on any script causes an
error because the default configured wiki-family is not accessible:
$ python pwb.py replace.py -help

Of course, it works when I have apache running, but such connections seem
unnecessary when the bot doesn't have to run anything.
