Get the code
bzr branch ~edlefma/mwscraper
Pick a template
Right now our templates are software.tt, to generate a software dependency page, geneds.tt, and scraper.tt, which creates its own doc page.
Run & check results
The tool can either print its new wiki pages to STDOUT or upload them to the wiki. Check your results by running mwscraper without --upload:
./mwscraper --host https://wiki.cs.earlham.edu --login --username <user> --password <pass> <template>
Run & upload changes
Now that we know we want to make this change, run again with --upload.
./mwscraper --host https://wiki.cs.earlham.edu --login --username <user> --password <pass> --upload <template>
