WikiTeam and status updates
Excellent work, thank you! You probably saw it already, but just to be sure: emijrp also had a script for some WikiTeam-WikiApiary updates. https://github.com/WikiTeam/wikiteam/tree/master/wikiapiary --Nemo 09:41, 20 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Hadn't seen that script before, but unfortunately, it looks like its search is based on the "Originalurl" tag on IA, which not all dumps have. Would it make sense to change it to search using the identifier instead, or at least use it as a fallback option? Should I use a separate bot user when running the script?--Zerote000 (talk) 14:44, 20 April 2019 (UTC)


 * I don't think the bot flag here is that important. The originalurl field should be added to the dumps which lack one: if you make a list (maybe in a spreadsheet), I can make the changes. Nemo 15:01, 20 April 2019 (UTC)


 * I found that if the originalurl points to the index page instead of api page (if the api was not available or working properly), the script will also not find the page. Should the originalurl attribute be changed on IA, or should the script also attempt to search for the index? --Zerote000 (talk) 16:26, 20 April 2019 (UTC)


 * IA metadata should preferably record the URL which was actually used to make the dump, so it might be the index.php URL rather than the api.php URL. The script for WikiApiary should probably ignore the difference. Nemo 17:39, 20 April 2019 (UTC)


 * I created a PR on GitHub that searches using both the API and Index URL. Not sure if it's the best way to do it, but I checked that it worked with the wiki I originally found the issue with. --Zerote000 (talk) 21:24, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for testing. Merged. Please check that it works with a larger amount of wikis too, I wonder what happens if there are multiple items. Nemo 07:00, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
