To Run Bot

To Run Bot

Hi, I wish to run a bot to fix some common spelling problems in Malayalam using pywikipedia bot. If possible please provide required changes to login and run the bot here, and please tell me how I can make that bot to edit only Malayalam (ml) messages. Thank you

I can make you a list of 'ml' messages with namespace numbers. You'll have to convert those to full page names yourself. As for a bot, if you have experience running a bot, just let me know what the bot name will be (preferably PraveenpBot or BotPraveenp), I'll set the correct access rights. Best do that through Project:Translator.

Hi, I created an account 'PravBot' for my bot. But I still dont know what I need to change to login and edit here. I am running a bot with same functionality in ml.wikipedia. Once I get the bot settings for translatewiki; I can request Bot status. Thankyou

Thankyou for bot flag. Is there a namespace for 'ml' messages as said earlier??

There is no namespace. 'ml' messages are in the namespace for the products the translations have been created in. As said, I'll make you a file that contains all "/ml" pages. See http://translatewiki.net/static/temp/ml.txt. First column is the namespace number.
