[edit] sigContract

It's not working for me either. Perhaps User:Cacycle/editor modifies the editing area somehow, such that sigContract can't do its thing? -Audacity 04:26, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Got it. I didn't copy the whole thing down. A very nice script; thanks! -Audacity 01:19, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I think this is bad. Saving the users with big sigs from suffering through edit pages full of them, while everyone else has to deal with them? Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 02:57, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

A new problem: sigContract is replacing my signature with the contracted version after I edit a page. Here's an example. -Audacity 02:59, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I had this problem with wikEd. I had to ditch sigContract. Are you using wikEd? — Tuvok[T@lk/Improve me] 03:37, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I am. Λυδαcιτγ 18:08, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wherebot updated source

Hello

Can you please update the source of Wherebot? I hope I can get it to work in the Arabic wikipedia. thanks in advance.--Alnokta 13:08, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot :)--Alnokta 07:01, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply (I was out), thanks for updating the source! I'm going to try it..I will tell you whether I run it successfully or else.--Alnokta 19:01, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I tried many times to get the bot working but to no avail!. I got the bot finds the copy violations pages and even report them at a page I made for testing, but the characters were messed up and don't show correctly..append.py used to give me error saying "ascii codec cannot decode..." until I added .encode('utf-8') to text = text + "\n" + sys.argv[1] so it became text = text + "\n" + sys.argv[1].encode('utf-8') .. then it reported and wrote to the wiki but with unreadable characters!!..

Apparently, the bot works with English script only..making it unusable to every other language..I don't really know the problem, but I think the encodings gets messed up when the perl script sends it to the python script...may be the encoding the perl script sends isn't utf-8..If you can fix this. I would really appreciate it(and many other wikis)...another thing, the url it usually finds contains Arabic characters and I think it causes a problem because the brackets which are reported are empty "[]"..if can you can try with other wiki(not in English)...

Sorry for the troubling you ;) but I tried with people over #perl #python..--Alnokta 08:37, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Any progress with the bot?--Alnokta 12:02, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Good, sorry for the bother. :)--Alnokta 11:38, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for putting time into it. may be the problem can be solved if you remove the python part? I think there is a perl framework to work with the wiki..or even change the way it reports, like mmaking the perl script write to a file and append.py to check that file for changes every while, if it is changed; it writes to the wiki..--Alnokta 03:04, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi again! ;)

I finally was able to get it to work..but there is a problem, which is it don't write the source url from which the page was copied :( you can take a look here..also another thing, when it is working, it says something like " import yahoo.search ImportError: No module named yahoo.search" is that all right?...thanks..--Alnokta 15:44, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

That went fine, I got no root but I managed to install it in a different place.. now it gives no errors at all..but it still reports the pages but without the url! I don't know how it even knew it is copyvio and at the same time cannot write the url!..at least the encoding problem is gone ;).. so what could be the reason for not reporting the url as well?--Alnokta 06:18, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Where/sigContract

I don't know if you've noticed, but all that extra junk you add makes annoying long signatures even longer for the rest of us. Very annoying – Qxz 18:17, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
