Bot setup
I want to create a bot using Pywikibot (core), but I have problems registering the Gamepedia family.

I use Linux, with Python 3.3.2.

Regards,

 * You have to install Python 2. --Dand0 (talk) 12:05, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I read the codes directly, it was Python 3 styled. -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 12:14, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * No assistance required. I tried to register http://www.gamepedia.com for a family that I could use on all Gamepedia wikis, but I was wrong. -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 12:20, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't know how you got pywikibot working with Python 3 (if you did got it). Do you still need help, or you've resolved your problems? --Dand0 (talk) 12:27, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Some scripts are still using Python 2 (I even tried to convert one to 3.x using 2to3 utility, but it didn't work well), but that's still fine. Everything goes smoothly. I have and use Python 2.7.5 (again, I can't update it, the installer says "newest version of Python 2.7/3.3 is already installed" despite 2.7.7 and 3.4 are out). -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 12:35, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Time to contact the bureaucrat. -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 12:50, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * What do you mean? And can I ask you if you've already registered bot account? --Dand0 (talk) 12:59, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Have you meant, that it is needed to give bot (whose?) bot status? As far as I know, Curse can add or remove users from groups. --Dand0 (talk) 13:08, 10 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Good idea, if I would not sent an email to . Naista2002   ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 13:26, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Wow, did a bot replied to me once? -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 13:27, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I again don't understand you. --Dand0 (talk) 14:11, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I also didn't understood you (maybe read too fast), plus what I've written above is incorrect. Sorry. There's the list of what I have:
 * My bot isn't working.
 * I want Curse staff or a bureaucrat to set a bot flag on my bot.
 * I forgot my bot's password.
 * A bot replied to me (first reply by "you").
 * -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 14:43, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * What exactly doesn't work?
 * Recover it?
 * Can you explain me in Russian how had he replied to you. Through the console?
 * --Dand0 (talk) 15:22, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't know. I may reset it.
 * I'll contact Game Widow.
 * The following quote: "You have to install Python 2."
 * I'll contact Game Widow.

 * I understood. If you have any problems, you can ask me. And if everything goes wrong, you can try compat branch, as suggested ObelusPA2 in his talk. --Dand0 (talk) 16:56, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not fluent in French, but I do have an online translator and a French friend. He's not on the Minecraft Wiki; he's a programmer that made a programming language and IDE for newcomer programmers. -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 17:26, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Only my first message in the conversation was in French, after we spoke in English. --Dand0 (talk) 17:35, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I wanted to write a message "Guys, this is a French wiki; thus, the language should also be French!" in both languages (to keep consistency), but the "Save page" button was disabled and I wasn't logged in. I once wrote a similar message in a forum. -- Naista2002   ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 17:39, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Offtop --Dand0 (talk) 18:19, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes. ..I'll abandon my bot for a while, I have more important things going on. -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 05:55, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Note: To officially join the project, add your signature to this list. Happy rewriting! -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 14:16, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * OK. And a question: was rewrite Camera correct, should I remove change anyting else or are there any notes on that rewrite? --Dand0 (talk) 14:53, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Not the best rewrite, but good for a first one. -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 14:55, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * If there are missing things, somebody other may take care of that. -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 14:57, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * , if you won't add your signature to the project's member list, I'll remove you from friends list. -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 15:54, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Ha, why do you want me so much to add my signature there? --Dand0 (talk) 16:03, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Adding your signature to that list will actually mark you as a member of the project. Do it now and we'll cooperate. NOTE: Add the signature using, not ~ !!! -- Naista2002   ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 16:08, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Because of cooperating, OK then. Should I add my signature to the bottom or to the top? --Dand0 (talk) 16:13, 15 October 2014 (UTC)


 * As noted above the list, add it to the bottom. But, unfortunately, the "cooperating" I mentioned might not take place, but you're still a RfS member, so don't mind. Thanks and sorry for bugging you. -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 16:17, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * No problem. --Dand0 (talk) 16:25, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't always add the category myself, because I'm not always sure does what I've rewrote comply.
 * -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 12:22, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
 * P.S. I notified about the project, I'm awaiting his/her reply.

Quotation marks
Just to clear up a bit of confusion, English uses "Quote" for quotation marks rather than «Quote» –KnightMiner  (t 02:53, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Wikificator
The Wikificator I've copied from your common.js to my common.js doesn't work - the icon doesn't pop out.

For interest, there is also code for a summary edit counter.

-- Naista2002  ♦   15:25, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
 * For me it does appear in the "Advanced" section. --Dand0 (talk) 15:32, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, might need to clean up the cache. Sorry. -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 15:35, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Still not working. I may fix up the code, even if I barely know how to program in JavaScript. -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 15:37, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't know, but there is no Wikificator in English Wikipedia, maybe that's why it doesn't work. --Dand0 (talk) 15:48, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I accidentally not copied entire code. Sorry! -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 15:49, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Then, why add it there? -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 15:56, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I thought that there is one. You can also port it from Ivan r's or Wikipedia's one. --Dand0 (talk) 16:11, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Hint: You can avoid an external link to Russian Wikipedia like so: ruwiki:MediaWiki:Wikificator.js . -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 16:22, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Try yourself first. --Dand0 (talk) 16:28, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
 * The English wiki does not have this interwiki prefix. Название статьи can be used instead. --GreenStone (talk) 16:46, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Special:Disambiguations – which used that message – was split out into an extension in MW1.22, which we don't have installed. --Dand0 (talk) 11:36, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay. As of now, your patch will be sufficient (I've commented out the old statement just in case)., ? -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 11:39, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I had the same problem and this worked for me. Why do you need Majr or Game Widow –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Dand0 (talk • contribs) at 11:44, 18 October 2014‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with
 * To make sure the disambiguations extension is here. -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 11:48, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Majr said, that it is not installed in his talk. --Dand0 (talk) 11:50, 18 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Since we don't have many disambiguation pages, I don't think the extension is worth installing. I would recommend you file a bug with the bot's developers. There's no reason it should require that extension. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 03:25, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Bot flag
Please set the bot flag on your bot's edits so they don't spam up the recent changes. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 03:50, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't know why aren't bot's edit marked as bot's in English wiki, because in the Russian one they are marked as bot's. --Dand0 (talk) 04:46, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It looks like Pywikibot only marks its edits on the wiki its action is launched in. I may need to contact the developers. -- Naista2002  ♦ Book and Quill.png Iron Pickaxe.png 06:42, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, you have to request bot status in every single Wiki. A bureaucrat has to change your user group, see here. In the German Wiki, our bureaucrat already did that for you, see here. | violine1101(Talk) 16:59, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
 * That's unnecessary unless knows German, which is unlikely. --  Naista2002  ᐸ Talk Contribs  17:01, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
 * But his bot edits the German wiki, too. I just wanted to let you know that a bureaucrat has to do this, and it's not a bug in Pywikibot. | violine1101(Talk) 17:11, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, violine1101., as my bot is an interwiki bot, he should correct interwiki links on all wikis, so the bot flag is needed. dand0 (talk) 06:25, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
 * (I would refer to bots as "it") recently resumed its service, and interwiki management isn't a main goal for my bot. --  Naista2002  ᐸ Talk Contribs  07:40, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Sandbox
You can create a sandbox of your own to test things. Also, afterwards, you can use my new NickTalkSandbox template to create a talk page sandbox. Thanks! --  Naista2002 ᐸ Talk Contribs  17:16, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
