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)

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)

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!

Request for gu.wiki

Hi Yurik,

I noticed that you have a bot flagged account on gu.wiki, where I am one of the SysOps. I was wondering whether there is any way you can run a bot to Replace [[Category:સબસ્ટબ]] with {{substub}} and [[Category:સ્ટબ]] with {{stub}} on all the pages? You can contact me on my Talk Page on gu. Thanks in Advance.-- Dhaval^Talk 16:23, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello Yurik. I saw your mail. The "Yurik" account on it:wp is now free for you to grab it. For what concerns uk.wikisource, I'd be grateful if you could contact a local bureaucrat (if there's any) or another steward. I'm having a poor connectivity these days (because of which I answered your mail so late, btw). Thanks for your understanding. Ciao. --Paginazero (talk) 15:45, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
