Imagetransfer.py

From Meta

Imagetransfer.py is a Script of the Pywikipedia Bot framework. It is used to copy images to Wikimedia Commons, or to another wiki.

Syntax:

    python imagetransfer.py [common-arguments] pagename [-interwiki] [-tolang:xx] [-tofamily:yy]

Arguments:

  -interwiki   Look for images in pages found through interwiki links.

  -tolang:xx   Copy the image to the wiki in language xx

  -tofamily:yy Copy the image to a wiki in the family yy

  -file:zz     Upload many files from textfile: [[Image:xx]]
                                                [[Image:yy]]

If pagename is an image description page, offers to copy the image to the target site. If it is a normal page, it will offer to copy any of the images used on that page, or if the -interwiki argument is used, any of the images used on a page reachable via interwiki links.
