A tool used for running wikipedia bots, developed for and used by Aidan9382-Bot
Python (Tested on v3.8, but it should work on most future versions) with the following modules:
- requests
- python-dotenv
- colorama
You must provide the Username and Password (or BotPassword) of the bot, along with some other settings, in a .env file. See .env-example for a reference
To run the bot and its tasks, run main.py. All options required for the bot are handled from the .env file. To test the primary wikitools module standalone, run wikitools.py for a live test environment
If you plan to use the base script to run your own bot, please do not use the tasks provided in /Tasks/. These are simply there to show the code behind the tasks I use for my own bot. Due to WP:BRFA, you will not be allowed to run them on your own bot without prior approval.
While this tool works and is in active use, it could potentially be buggy in more extreme and untested cases. It is also not designed with execution speed as its primary goal, and therefore may be slow for certain tasks.
