[edit] limitation?
I've used pagefromfile.py and when i try to import an article that is greater than a certain (250?) characters then it will fail. Does anyone know if there is a limitation to the length of the article? And so yes, what can you do about it? --BB70 13:20, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
- I have not experienced anything like that error. Do you mean the page title is over 250 characters? --Connel MacKenzie 13:56, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

- The article itself is over 250 characters including the title BB70 12:30, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

- Don't work : it uploads only a part of each page.

[edit] title
I dont like to have automatically title in page so I inserted line
contents = re.search("'''.*?'''([^\Z]*)",contents).group(1)
before line
page.put(contents, comment = commenttext, minorEdit = False)

[edit] What didn't work?
Looking at a recent edit to this page, I see a complaint from someone that the proper technique didn't work. I know that on the English Wiktionary, the alternate technique now listed does not work correctly. Could someone please explain where/when/how that technique doesn't work, and what unexpected results were encountered? --Connel MacKenzie 14:00, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- python script which I downloded (I dont know if there is new version or not) does not found title of article because it search it betveen xxxx and yyyy ... --Liso 21:04, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Creating Redirects
I tried creating redirects using Pagefromfile but it became an article.
My text file is like so...
xxxx #REDIRECT [[Article]] '''Article''' [[Category:something]] yyyy
the script created was so, except for the xxxx and yyyy. What I need is that the '''Article''' be not included. That the end result will become
#REDIRECT [[Article]] [[Category:something]]
What can be added to the script to achieve this? I do not know phyton programming. -- Hiong-eng
- So do you need strip title from contents of inserted article? Please see Talk:Pagefromfile.py#title! (you need to edit pagefromfile.py file):) --Liso 21:01, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

- oops, sorry, I missed that :) thanks! -- Hiong-eng
This has been fixed now, there is a -notitle keyword. To make a redirect, make a file dict.txt that looks like this:
{{-start-}}
'''Article title'''#REDIRECT[[New title]]
{{-stop-}}
and type:
python pagefromfile.py -notitle
[edit] redirected page
Lets there are two pages A and B. B is redirected to A (B-->A)
I try to do the following
xxxx '''B''' bla-bla yyyy
and as result I've got the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/export1/wiki/pywikipedia/pagefromfile.py", line 324, in <module>
main()
File "/export1/wiki/pywikipedia/pagefromfile.py", line 320, in main
bot.run()
File "/export1/wiki/pywikipedia/pagefromfile.py", line 141, in run
self.put(title, contents)
File "/export1/wiki/pywikipedia/pagefromfile.py", line 170, in put
contents = page.get() + contents
File "/export1/wiki/pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 638, in get
raise IsRedirectPage, self._redirarg
I would like to have such behavior: if B is redirected page then script have to use A as target page.
How I can do it? Can anybody help me? --Dnikitin 03:00, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
