[edit] Set up

You need to create the following files in the appropriate places:

[edit] Get the site dump

Using the bot works best if you have a recent copy of the "dump". Download it here.

Due to server issues, this is not yet available to download, so email Chriswaterguy at chriswaterguyImage:atsymbol.pngappropediaImage:dot.pngorg and he'll email you a copy (approximately 9 MB, compressed as a .gz file).

[edit] Running the bot

Chriswaterguy has used the bot to change categorize, replace text, and add wikilinks. Instructions will come soon (Nov 2008).

More information can be found at meta:Pywikipedia, but is incomplete and confusing at present.

[edit] Help

Help can be found on Pywikipedia-L - IRC is available (#Pywikipedia on freenode) but very quiet, so it's more useful to stick to the lists.
