Ok. So I'm not sure if I should post this or not, but... Once upon a time, back when I didn't really know how to program, I wrote a bot in bash for updating an onwiki template for what articles are trending currently on enwikinews. Code is absolutely horrible and not something you should follow, but I suppose it is an example. There's source code at https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:Bawolff_bot (API might have changed slightly since that was written). -- Bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
