That worked, thanks for your quick reply.

For reference I did python pwb.py generate_family_file Please insert URL to wiki: http://hornblower.fandom.com Please insert a short name (eg: freeciv): hornblower Generating family file from http://hornblower.fandom.com

python pwb.py generate_user_files You can abort at any time by pressing ctrl-c

Your default user directory is "/mnt/priory1/home/john/Documents/Accounts/Wikia/pywikibot/core" 1: commons 2: fancyclopedia 3: hornblower ... Select family of sites we are working on, just enter the number or name (default: wikipedia): 3 The only known language: en The language code of the site we're working on (default: en): Username on en:hornblower: vicarage Do you want to add any other projects? ([y]es, [N]o): N Do you want to add a BotPassword for vicarage? ([y]es, [N]o, [q]uit): y See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/BotPasswords to know how to get codes.Please note that plain text in /mnt/priory1/home/john/Documents/Accounts/Wikia/pywikibot/core/user- password.py and anyone with read access to that directory will be able read the file. BotPassword's "bot name" for vicarage: vicarage BotPassword's "password" for "vicarage" (no characters will be shown): '/mnt/priory1/home/john/Documents/Accounts/Wikia/pywikibot/core/user-config.py' written. '/mnt/priory1/home/john/Documents/Accounts/Wikia/pywikibot/core/user-password.py' written.

and then edited user-password.py from ('Vicarage', BotPassword('vicaragebot', 'fakepassword')) to ('Vicarage', 'Mypassword'))

As that seemed the safest way to get to user-config.py referring to a user-password.py
