Hoi,
Andre Engels wrote some further extensions to the pywikipedia bot. It
allows you to update the interlanguage links. The way it works is by
distinguishing between the wiktionaries that DO capitalise and the ones
that do not. When a word exists that is capitalised, it will look for
capitalised words only and look for a match. When a wiktionary only has
capitalised words, it will not look for the uncapitalised words in that
wiktionary.
When you use the software, the file user-config.py contains three lines
that contain in my case:
mylang = "nl"
family = "wiktionary"
username = "RobotGMwikt"
The software is used from a prompt: in windows "cmd"
You login using the login.py program; it tells you the user it will be
using and you will have to provide a password.
Then you run the program by typing interwiki.py -wiktionary -start:!
This will do try to find all links in all wiktionaries (bigger than 100
words) from the first onwards. When it finds words with an exact match
it will create an interwiki link. It will only update one article a
minute in order not to be too big a burden on the database.
I am running it for the nl:wiktionary as I write this. It has updated 59
articles so far and the last one is Arnavutluk a Turkish word. It should
run (as a bot) every now and then on all wiktionaries. To make clear
that a word that is written inexactly the same way in other wiktionaries.
If you want the software, it can be found on Sourceforge
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywikipediabot/ or you can ask me to
send you the ZIP file Andre send me.
Thanks,
GerardM
