Prerequisites

You might want to prepare some credential ini files with the Mediawiki-Japi CommandLine.

user-config.py

pywikibot expects a user-config.py file. The minimum recommended file for intranet usecases is:

# https://stackoverflow.com/a/60885381/1497139
# Slow down the robot such that it never makes a second page edit within
# 'put_throttle' seconds.
put_throttle = 0

The easiest way is to put it at $HOME/.pywikibot/user-config.py

Features

Encrypted credential handling

Py-3rdparty-mediawiki allows using pywikibot by simply giving each wiki an id and using the credential information created by MediaWiki-Japi. The needed family file is automatically created and registered. If you'd like to get a pure python solution for credential handling please file an issue on github - it's no big deal but i personally don't need it yet since i'm fine with the new CommandLine feature added recently.

Semantic MediaWiki API support
