The file appropedia_family.py should be placed in the families folder of your Pywikipedia installation.

Technical notes:

  • The up-to-date list of namespaces can be extracted at any time from namespaces|namespacealiases|here.
  • If the wiki changes its version or namespaces, errors will be generated when running the bot. These usually don't matter, but can be fixed be updating your family file.
