< |
For safety's sake and to not overload the wiki, you should limit the rate of your API calls. Bot scripts will automatically throttle themselves according to the value of "put_throttle" in user-config.py, but if you are performing an operation by calling a bot script multiple times then you must implement your own external throttle. For working examples, see my .sh scripts.\ |

There are a ton of ways to select which pages to run a Pywikibot script on besides specifying a single page with "-page". Not only are there -cat and -catr (all pages recursively under that cat), but also -ns, -grep, -subpage, -titleregex, -wantedpages, -transcludes, -start (proceeds from that point alphabetically), -imagesused (on a given page), -links (to other pages from a given page), -filelinks (image links on given page), and much more. See "Generator and replace options.txt" for details.} |
