basic.py is a script of the Pywikibot framework. It is not a complete bot; rather, it is a template from which simple bots can be made. You can rename it to mybot.py, then edit it in whatever way you want.
Parameters
[edit ]The following parameters are supported:
-always
The bot won't ask for confirmation when putting a page.
-text:
Use this text to be added; otherwise 'Test' is used.
-replace
Don't add text but replace it.
-top
Place additional text on top of the page.
-summary:
Set the action summary message for the edit.
All page generator/filter options supported by pywikibot.pagegenerators are also supported, e.g., -recentpages: and -page:.
Use global -simulate option for test purposes. No changes are made to the live wiki if this option is supplied.
Example
[edit ]$ pythonpwb.pybasic-simulate-page:User:MyUserName
- This tries to append "Text" to the page User:MyUserName. Since the -simulate option is given, the actual page on the live wiki won't be modified.
