[edit] Vote on a bug

A large number of users expressed their desire to have interwikies sorted in a site-specific order. Many users would also like to have a custom, user defined order, so that if you know Lithuanian and French, you can see links to them first. Developers need to be persuaded that this is a needed feature. Please see comments and vote for the bug 2867.

[edit] Bot

Вижу, бот в украинской Википедии исправляет ошибки в раскладке. А он может переименовывать статьи с ошибкой раскладки в названии?--Ahonc (Talk) 19:03, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Может. Более того, он это и делает. :) --Yurik 20:33, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bot activity

I was going over the list of bots and noticed that YurikBot (talk · contribs) has not edited in a very long time. Is this bot still active and if not, would you object to it being de-flagged? Please post your comments to Wikipedia_talk:Bots/Requests_for_approval#Dead_bots since this is a rather widely-posted message. MBisanz talk 06:34, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] interwiki link removals

Hi Yurik, I just started running the interwiki bot again recently, and got complaints on the English wiki about certain links that were removed. It seems that the bot is removing links that are considered to be different namespaces, or at least looks so. I'm not sure as I don't read the language in question to be able to tell. If you take a look at my Chinese Wiki Talk Page, in item 29 and 30, there are four links listed there of links removed. One of which is definitely regular page linking to the wikipedia name spaces, and the other three has ":" in the name, but doesn't look like categories. Could you take a look? In the mean time I'm going to run the bot without the "-force" mode. Thanks. --Vina (talk) 05:13, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] MediaWiki API: permission denied after login?

I'm trying out the MediaWiki API and cannot seem to obtain a token (say, a "move" token) after a successful login. Am I doing something incorrectly? Here is what I've tried on both MediaWiki 1.12.0 and 1.13.0 alpha.

I do have:

$wgEnableWriteAPI = true;

My PHP script runs on the command line. Login succeeds, giving me a login token, when I POST with these parameters:

api.php?action=login&lgname=tester&lgpassword=123456&format=xml

and get back:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <api>
  <login result="Success"
         lguserid="123"
         lgusername="tester"
         lgtoken="eedcad0fa714033528290183da251af8"
         cookieprefix="wikidb_mw_"
         sessionid="lldh5t86b3vbeccpeda46s5ep6" /> </api>

But when I try to get a Move token via POST:

api.php?action=query&prop=info&intoken=move&titles=my+new+page&lgtoken=eedcad0fa714033528290183da251af8&format=xml

I get:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <api>
  <error code="inpermissiondenied"
         info="Action 'move' is not allowed for the current user" />  
 </api>

Strangely, if I paste the above "move" URL into a web browser, instead of running a script on the command line, I get different results:

<api>
  <query>
   <normalized>
     <n from="my new page" to="My new page"/>
   </normalized>
   <pages>
    <page ns="0" title="My new page" missing=""/>
   </pages>
  </query>
 </api>

but still no Move token.

I have also tried adding the session ID (from login) to the api.php URL for the Move token, but this did not help:

api.php?......&sessionid=lldh5t86b3vbeccpeda46s5ep6

Any ideas? Thanks!
