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
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
$ python pwb.py basic -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.
