Wikibot Bug
Hello, there is an important bugfix for the wikibot.php file, to avoid an infinite loop. Be sure to change the following line in wikibot.php:

} while (!$defer);

to

} while ($defer);

Thanks! -- 22:51, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


 * You should probably check to make sure you are getting the original text from getArticle or if one of the str_replace/preg_replace functions is doing it. -- 23:28, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, but debug the contents of $text to find out when it blanks the page. You may even have to do it within the editArticle and getArticle calls to pin down where the text is getting blanked.  If you comment out the $this->callAPI parts in the editArticle function, you can do a dry run without affecting the actual articles. -- 00:04, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Nice -- 03:16, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Good job with your Yew Grove thread. By the way, I posted another update to wikibot.php. There were no problems with the last version but this one has a couple of extras. You don't have to update if you don't want to.


 * You can now limit the number of retries due to temporary network or server errors.
 * You can redirect log output using any file handle.
 * getArticle and getCategories now follow redirects by default.
 * callAPI is now a public method.
 * All the hard-coded configuration variables have been replaced by numerous accessors. The Wikibot constructor now only accepts one parameter.

I have updated the documentation, which is important to look over first before updating your wikibot.php file, since some methods have changed. -- 06:01, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

List Category
The best way to use this function is something like:

// Start from the beginning $titles = array('next' => '');

do { $titles = $bot->listCategory('category', 500, $titles['next']);

// Do stuff with the list of titles here. ...

} while (!empty($titles['next'])); // Keep iterating while there are more items in the category.

The call works this way because the MediaWiki API limits the number of members returned in a single call, probably for performance reasons. -- 21:10, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Re:^^
No exact number, I just wanted to give it about 3 days to make sure that anyone who wants to can post their comments/support/concerns is able to before the flag is given.-- 22:51, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Re:O_o
Look carefully at their revision near "Bagged plant 1." See something that should be there? 19:22, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Contrast in Gaming Skin
Hello, I wanted to point out that there's some contrast issues in the Monaco skin with the Gaming theme selected. Here's the a [ preview of the main page], whose headers are barely readable. Tables with the "wikitable" class and the site notice also have problems. I think some site CSS needs to be changed so that anything with a set background color also sets a font color that contrasts with it. -- 20:08, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I made a new topic. -- 20:27, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Re:Regarding checkuser
I'll do that now and ask them to give it to the other person I was going to choose instead but happened to not be on at the time.-- 23:22, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

FBB
I would like to suggest as a "todo" item that FBB try merging nested sets of  by combining their CSS style attributes. This can help reduce the code size a bit after it makes its normal tag replacements. Also, you also might want to consider moving "align" and "clear" attributes into equivalent CSS styles. Not sure if you seen the discussion at wikitech-l about a possible doctype transition of MediaWiki to HTML 5, but here it is for your enjoyment. -- 04:34, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Awesome, it seems to be working quite well. I suspect the signatures and the user namespace is the main place it's going to find errors, I've already done a great deal of cleanup in the main namespace myself previously  -- 05:22, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm going insane
I tried for ages to fix this but idk howwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Help pls. Look here to see the problem it's causing. Christine 16:45, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

All pages
Do you need a framework method for listing all pages in a namespace? It might be useful so you can process pages that are not within a specific category. The documentation for listing all pages in the API is here. If you prefer to call allpages yourself, just mark the bot's callAPI function public and use that. -- 18:33, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No, you'd still have to set up the call according to the allpages API query, but I believe the framework you are using has callAPI marked as a private function which prevents you from using that method from your code (I've already changed that in the newest framework code). Changing it to public lets you make your own calls to the MediaWiki API regardless of whether there is a built-in function for it.  Anyways, I went ahead and made a function, just copy and paste this into your wikibot php:

/**	 * Get all article titles within a specific namespace. *	 * @param int|string Limit of articles to return. To use the maximum allowed limit for the current user, use 'max'. * @param string Start of the first article to return. * @param int The namespace to use. * @param string Filter to use on redirects. Possible values are 'all', 'redirects', and 'nonredirects'. * @return array An array of strings containing article titles. If the limit was reached, 'next' will be set to the first unreturned title. * @throws Exception on API error. */	public function getAllPages($limit = 500, $start = '', $ns = 0, $redirects = 'nonredirects') { $response = $this->callAPI(array( 'action' => 'query', 'list' => 'allpages', 'apfrom' => $start, 'apnamespace' => $ns, 'apfilterredir' => 'nonredirects', 'aplimit' => $limit ));		$pages = array; foreach ($response['query']['allpages'] as $page) { $pages = $page['title']; }

$next = $response['query-continue']['allpages']['apfrom']; if ($next != '') { $pages['next'] = $next; }

return $pages; }

Then change this line in your source code:

$titles = $bot->listCategory(CATEGORY, 500, $next);

to:

$titles = $bot->getAllPages(500, $next, '0');

Note that the namespaces are identified by their ID numbers, and the list of them on RuneScape Wiki is here. The main namespace has an ID of 0.

This looks bad. 19:28, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Signauture
Oh, sorry. How do I fix it, or will the bot fix it?

RE: Your Signature
Oh forgive me, I didn't know it was a bot - I thought it was some random guy >_< Thanks for updating it though, and for telling me - sorry again!

RE: Wrong IP? :P

Re:......
I was assuming that they were testing out how to use the edit button and how to link to other articles. 02:14, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Re:Hmmm...
I hadn't realized, though knowing cabbage is a popular RS joke, I assumed it was to be classified as vandalism. I looked over the top when I was editing it out and saw "If you are undoing vandalism, please additionally report the vandal at RS:CVU to notify administrators. Your assistance is appreciated." so it appeared that I was to simply report anything that appeared to be was vandalism. I will look over the policy you linked me to and hopefully I won't make the same mistake again in the future. Thanks for telling me :). 02:33, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

RE: :/
Oops, try changing these lines in the function I gave you: foreach ($response['query']['allpages'] as $page) { $pages = $page['title']; }

to:

foreach ($response['query']['allpages'] as $page) { $pages[] = $page['title']; }

Sorry about that! -- 04:48, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Awesome. -- 04:54, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I checked that out. By the way, what do you think of my item comparing page at Forum:Comparison? -- 05:06, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Odd little bug
Occasionally, I see '&#160;' jammed into random spots in the edit summary of different articles. Any idea what's causing this? WWTDD? 15:34, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
