Forum:Page Move Bot Issues...

We've been trying to migrate a large number of pages on our wiki using a bot.

I at first tryed building my own extra to the pywikipedia bot for page moves but got errors with that. I downloaded the most recent version of the bot from CVS recently and it has a working page move tool. Unfortunately I am getting an error.

Internal Server Error  Internal Server Error Sorry, the server has encountered an internal error. Please wait a moment and hit &quot;refresh&quot; to submit the request again.

Since I am using a fully functional working tool I am sure this is not a problem with the software. I have a feeling that one of the wikia features regarding page move restrictions is stopping the bot from making consecutive page moves, because this error shows up after about 3 or 4 edits (It used to be 1 or 2 on the one I built because it was more automated), and it dosen't go away until I quit the bot then go back on.

 * Wait a minute or so between page moves. --Splarka (talk) 02:10, 27 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll try... but that kinda defeats the purpose of using a bot. I half to manualy use it. Dantman (Talk) 02:20, 27 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Time dosen't seam to be a factor, It only happends after a certain ammount of edits each time I start the bot, even if I wait it dosn't change... In fact I made 2 edits, waited, then the error came up right away instead of after 3 or 4. Dantman (Talk) 02:27, 27 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok, I'll ask Jason to look into excluding +bot flagged users. --Splarka (talk) 02:30, 27 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Try it now (and if that login doesn't have a bot flag, tell me where it is and I'll bottify it) --Splarka (talk) 03:07, 27 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Perfect... I just moved 23 pages without a server glitch... now I just half to switch in the code I was working on instead of using the page move script that comes with the bot so that I can have the computer do this automaticly and I can just supervise instead of manualy entering every change... Kina makes me sad that I'm hopping to move Gaiapedia to a professional server to do some mods that wouldn't be possible on wikia. I thought I might not be able to get this done till then...... Although, still the pages look a bit ugly without the hack I want to implement there. Dantman (Talk) 06:03, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
