I'm planning to switch to the Pywikipedia-rewrite branch, but can't find a quick guide/overview of the differences with the Pywikipedia trunk (mainly about the standard configuration and the write access on Wikidata). Could You Please insert it somewhere? --Ricordisamoa 19:07, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Well first, you probably don't want to use my personal version, it's super hacked up and overrides some basic safety features. You should checkout the version from Wikimedia SVN [1]. There are instructions on what some of the differences are in README-conversion.txt. I've been meaning to write up some real documentation, but for now there are some autogenerated docs here. Some super brief docs about Wikidata usage are here. Legoktm (talk) 15:59, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. --Ricordisamoa 17:08, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

My bot is running fine now, but ... do You know a simple way to set references (maybe before calling addClaim, but it doesn't matter)? --Ricordisamoa 19:10, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Please? --Ricordisamoa 22:13, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, missed your question. Here's a quick code snippet:

import pywikibot
repo = pywikibot.Site('wikidata', 'wikidata').data_repository()
claim = pywikibot.Claim(repo, 'p1')  # Something
claim.setTarget(pywikibot.ItemPage(repo, 'q1'))  # Some target
reference = pywikibot.Claim(repo, 'p2')  # Source property
reference.setTarget(pywikibot.ItemPage(repo, 'q2'))  # Source target

for item in gen:  # Pretend we're adding a claim to a ton of pages
    item.addClaim(claim, bot=True)  # Add the claim
    claim.addSource(reference, bot=True)  # Add the source to the claim we just created

You can of course create the reference on the fly, but that would be created in the same way. Legoktm (talk) 22:39, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Okay, there's only the last little problem...: after setting "taxon level" (with the proper reference) and "taxon name", it fails to add the reference for the latter claim... Any ideas? Could it depend on the datatype, or is it a known bug? --Ricordisamoa 10:23, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Can I see your code and any error it throws? Legoktm (talk) 18:11, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

What should I post, in what form, and where? --Ricordisamoa 21:32, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi, same problem. Here the code:

import pywikibot
wd = pywikibot.Site('wikidata','wikidata').data_repository() 
item = pywikibot.ItemPage(wd,'Q4115189') 
item.get() 
reference=pywikibot.Claim(wd,'p143') # "imported from"
reference.setTarget(pywikibot.ItemPage(wd,'Q11920')) # "Wikipedia in italiano"

claim = pywikibot.Claim(wd,'p161') # first Property
claim.setTarget(pywikibot.ItemPage(wd,'Q4547')) # Property value

item.addClaim(claim) # add claim
claim.addSource(reference) # add source

claim = pywikibot.Claim(wd,'p161') # second Property
claim.setTarget(pywikibot.ItemPage(wd,'Q134895')) # Property value

item.addClaim(claim) # add claim
claim.addSource(reference) # add source

and error message.

Thanks --ValterVB (talk) 15:03, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

I will try to get a patch into PWB, but my time is currently limited due to IRL activities. Legoktm (talk) 12:13, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

For now I have solved with multiple item.get() --ValterVB (talk) 13:04, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

And more than a month later I finally tracked it down and fixed it. Use pyrev:r11686, and vote for a fix to bugzilla:49978. Legoktm (talk) 21:39, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I understand you have currently no time to dedicate to Wikidata. Should I move my requests on User talk:Legobot/properties.js/requests to Wikidata:Bot requests, or do think you'll be able to run again requests soon? Thanks. Ayack (talk) 10:08, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I apologize for the downtime. I should be ready to go with a much more intelligent system by Monday or Tuesday. Legoktm (talk) 21:40, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Great! Thanks! Ayack (talk) 13:23, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

(Sorry, I'm harassing you again.) Ayack (talk) 09:45, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

I've finished a massive rewrite of the script, and am now debugging it. I expect that it will be ready to go live on Tuesday. Legoktm (talk) 04:52, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks by the way!!! Ayack (talk) 16:26, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, strange edits: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. — Ivan A. Krestinin (talk) 08:00, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

I've forked your script!

Improvements

• it uses {{Deleted|admin=who}}
• checks if "who" is on User:BeneBot*/RfD-optin
• counter of marked requests and descriptive edit summary
• works also with the last RfD on the page ;-)

--Ricordisamoa 17:23, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

I'm currently using it for SamoaBot 31. --Ricordisamoa 17:25, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

...to remove your flood flag? :-) --Ricordisamoa 02:03, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Oops, thanks for the reminder. Legoktm (talk) 02:48, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Legoktm. You have new messages at Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/Dexbot 3.

--Ricordisamoa 01:58, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Vogone has un-closed it for now, I'll comment when I'm less busy tomorrow. Legoktm (talk) 04:52, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello, following line in claimit.py:

pywikibot.output('Adding %s --> %s' % (claim.getID(), claim.getTarget().getID()))

doesn't works with string type property because "claim.getTarget().getID()" doesn't exists. Is it correct? --Sbisolo (talk) 10:50, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, fixed in pyrev:11675. Legoktm (talk) 21:14, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi! I notice legobot has claimed Vire (Q220684) as having received the Croix de guerre, but this seems to be incorrect. The award is given only to people, as far as I know. Danrok (talk) 16:29, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

It's correct. Some cities have also received this award. See fr:Catégorie:Ville titulaire de la Croix de guerre 1939-1945. Ayack (talk) 18:35, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Ok thanks! I see it now, in the French articles. Just no mention of it on enwiki. Danrok (talk) 20:49, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi!

Can you do something to the testwiki's Hungarian main page be Wikidata:Main Page/hu? Thanks,

Tacsipacsi (talk) 13:54, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

done. Legoktm (talk) 19:53, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! Tacsipacsi (talk) 07:39, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Seems to be something not quite right with a number of claims, this one being an example: Polissoir des Sept coups d'épée (Q3394292).

The instance of (P31) claim item is displayed as deleted. Perhaps, because it is prefixed with a lowercase q. Danrok (talk) 13:56, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

No, it's a red banner at the top of the page about this ("ATTENTION: We are currently experiencing technical difficulties, causing properties and items to appear deleted in statements. They are not, and there is no lost data; please hang on while this is repaired."). Tacsipacsi (talk) 14:01, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Shame the red banner is also broken, for me at least. All I see is a red flicker for a fraction of a second. Danrok (talk) 15:47, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Weird, well the notice is at MediaWiki:Sitenotice. See also Wikidata:PC#.22Deleted_property.22_and_.22Deleted_item.22. Legoktm (talk) 19:51, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi! Sorry, I didn't know that I was not allowed to close an RfC. Do you have any objections about closing it yourself? If so, please, do change my name in the "closed by". Otherwise let me know and I will leave it open. Thanks!--Micru (talk) 15:56, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

I'm on my phone right now, I can re-close it once I get home in a few hours. Legoktm (talk) 16:33, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

On your phone? That sounds abusive. Be careful while scrolling your watchlist! :-P Vogone talk 19:19, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

No problem! I have opened a new one to address specific concerns >> Source items and supporting Wikipedia sources.--Micru (talk) 23:13, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

your bot shouldn't add P21 on organizations. --Akkakk 14:36, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

+1. sex or gender (P21) is meant only for persons. Everything else: Your bot is doing a great job ; ) --Kolja21 (talk) 18:09, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Ok, so the error was that my bot was not reading the {{Constraint:Item}} template properly. I've disabled the job for now and will write a patch soon. Thanks, Legoktm (talk) 18:30, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

most of the item constraints can't be solved automatically. if you try, don't rely on a single rule or a sinle given claim. they might be wrong. --Akkakk 18:53, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
