Standard replace.py, June 2010:

  1. -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

""" This bot will make direct text replacements. It will retrieve information on which pages might need changes either from an XML dump or a text file, or only change a single page.

These command line parameters can be used to specify which pages to work on:

&params;

-xml Retrieve information from a local XML dump (pages-articles

                 or pages-meta-current, see http://download.wikimedia.org).
                 Argument can also be given as "-xml:filename".

-page Only edit a specific page.

                 Argument can also be given as "-page:pagetitle". You can
                 give this parameter multiple times to edit multiple pages.

Furthermore, the following command line parameters are supported:

-regex Make replacements using regular expressions. If this argument

                 isn't given, the bot will make simple text replacements.

-nocase Use case insensitive regular expressions.

-dotall Make the dot match any character at all, including a newline.

                 Without this flag, '.' will match anything except a newline.

-multiline '^' and '$' will now match begin and end of each line.

-xmlstart (Only works with -xml) Skip all articles in the XML dump

                 before the one specified (may also be given as
                 -xmlstart:Article).

-addcat:cat_name Adds "cat_name" category to every altered page.

-excepttitle:XYZ Skip pages with titles that contain XYZ. If the -regex

                 argument is given, XYZ will be regarded as a regular
                 expression.

-requiretitle:XYZ Only do pages with titles that contain XYZ. If the -regex

                 argument is given, XYZ will be regarded as a regular
                 expression.

-excepttext:XYZ Skip pages which contain the text XYZ. If the -regex

                 argument is given, XYZ will be regarded as a regular
                 expression.

-exceptinside:XYZ Skip occurences of the to-be-replaced text which lie

                 within XYZ. If the -regex argument is given, XYZ will be
                 regarded as a regular expression.

-exceptinsidetag:XYZ Skip occurences of the to-be-replaced text which lie

                 within an XYZ tag.

-summary:XYZ Set the summary message text for the edit to XYZ, bypassing

                 the predefined message texts with original and replacements
                 inserted.

-sleep:123 If you use -fix you can check multiple regex at the same time

                 in every page. This can lead to a great waste of CPU because
                 the bot will check every regex without waiting using all the
                 resources. This will slow it down between a regex and another
                 in order not to waste too much CPU.

-query: The maximum number of pages that the bot will load at once.

                 Default value is 60. Ignored when reading an XML file.

-fix:XYZ Perform one of the predefined replacements tasks, which are

                 given in the dictionary 'fixes' defined inside the file
                 fixes.py.
                 The -regex and -nocase argument and given replacements will
                 be ignored if you use -fix.
                 Currently available predefined fixes are:

&fixes-help;

-always Don't prompt you for each replacement

-recursive Recurse replacement as long as possible. Be careful, this

                 might lead to an infinite loop.

-allowoverlap When occurences of the pattern overlap, replace all of them.

                 Be careful, this might lead to an infinite loop.

other: First argument is the old text, second argument is the new

                 text. If the -regex argument is given, the first argument
                 will be regarded as a regular expression, and the second
                 argument might contain expressions like \\1 or \g<name>.
                 It is possible to introduce more than one pair of old text
                 and replacement.

Examples:

If you want to change templates from the old syntax, e.g. Template:Stub, to the new syntax, e.g. Template:Stub, download an XML dump file (pages-articles) from http://download.wikimedia.org, then use this command:

   python replace.py -xml -regex "Template:(.*?)" "Template:\\1"

If you have a dump called foobar.xml and want to fix typos in articles, e.g. Errror -> Error, use this:

   python replace.py -xml:foobar.xml "Errror" "Error" -namespace:0

If you want to do more than one replacement at a time, use this:

   python replace.py -xml:foobar.xml "Errror" "Error" "Faail" "Fail" -namespace:0

If you have a page called 'John Doe' and want to fix the format of ISBNs, use:

   python replace.py -page:John_Doe -fix:isbn

This command will change 'referer' to 'referrer', but not in pages which talk about HTTP, where the typo has become part of the standard:

   python replace.py referer referrer -file:typos.txt -excepttext:HTTP
