This needs both psycopg2 and
pywikipediabot (core repository).
The former can be installed with
pip install -r requirements.txt
the latter with
git clone --recursive https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/pywikibot/core.git pywikipediabot
cd pywikipediabot
python2 setup.py install
After installation configure pywikibot so the login works non-interactively. This repository is made to work with the MineoBot user on Wikidata. Its password needs to be stored in a file called passwd with the following content:
('MineoBot', '<bot-password-here>')
Copy bot/settings.py.dist to bot/settings.py and edit the connection string
settings. Their format is
documented
here.
The readonly_connection_string is used to connect to a MusicBrainz database to
extract all the entities that have links to Wikipedia articles. The readwrite
connection string is used to connect to a database with read and write access to
keep a log of all already processed MBIDs.
If you want the bot to automatically edit URLs to redirect pages in Wikipedia to their target pages, do
git submodule init
git submodule update
and set the mb_user and mb_password values in bot/settings.py to your bots
login data in MusicBrainz.
Please make sure that your bot does not violate the Code of Conduct for bots in MusicBrainz
The configuration of a running bot can be reloaded by sending it a HUP signal.
