Red exclamation mark.svg UNABLE TO EDIT? - We've experienced attacks by spambots lately and now require you to confirm your e-mail before you can edit (go to your preferences, enter an e-mail address, and request a confirmation e-mail, then go to your e-mail and click on the confirmation link). We also require new accounts to make a few edits and wait a few minutes before before you can create a page; however, if this is a problem contact us in #botwiki and we can manually confirm your account.

Python:Redirect creation (en)

From Botwiki
Jump to: navigation, search

This script creates redirects to pages.

I made it for my site, so it needs changes to be more general:

  • it looks for pages with titles like "foo - bar"
  • and then makes a redirect at "foo" and "bar" to "foo - bar"

Change these tests so it does something else :)

Hope it's useful.
