Manual:Pywikibot/checkimages.py

Script to check recently uploaded files.

This script checks if a file description is present and if there are other problems in the image's description.

Everything that needs customisation is indicated by comments.

This script understands the following command-line arguments:

-limit The number of images to check (default: 80)
-commons The Bot will check if an image on Commons has the same name
 and if true it reports the image.
-duplicates[:#] Checking if the image has duplicates (if arg, set how many
 rollback wait before reporting the image in the report
 instead of tag the image) default: 1 rollback.
-duplicatesreport Report the duplicates in a log *AND* put the template in
 the images.
-sendemail Send an email after tagging.
-break To break the bot after the first check (default: recursive)
-sleep[:#] Time in seconds between repeat runs (default: 30)
-time[:#] The -time option is deprecated. Use -sleep instead.
-wait[:#] Wait x second before check the images (default: 0)
-skip[:#] The bot skip the first [:#] images (default: 0)
-start[:#] Use allpages() as generator
 (it starts already form File:[:#])
-cat[:#] Use a category as generator
-regex[:#] Use regex, must be used with -url or -page
-page[:#] Define the name of the wikipage where are the images
-url[:#] Define the url where are the images
-nologerror If given, this option will disable the error that is risen
 when the log is full.

• For every new block you have to add:

<------- ------->

In this way the Bot can understand where the block starts in order to take the right parameter.

* Name= Set the name of the block
* Find= Use it to define what search in the text of the image's description,
 while
* Findonly= search only if the exactly text that you give is in the image's
 description.
* Summary= That's the summary that the bot will use when it will notify the
 problem.
* Head= That's the incipit that the bot will use for the message.
* Text= This is the template that the bot will use when it will report the
 image's problem.

These options will override the configuration in user-config.py settings.
