Re: [Wikitech-l] LinqToWiki: new library for accessing the API from .Net
Petr, make sure you require users to set their *User-Agent* string. Your library should not use any defaults. For the examples I would recommend this *User-Agent:* *MyCoolTool/1.1 (http://example.com/MyCoolTool/; mycoolt...@example.com) LinqToWiki/1.0* See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page#Identifying_your_client On Sun, Feb 17, 2013 at 12:56 PM, Petr Onderka gsv...@gmail.com wrote: I'd like to introduce LinqToWiki: a new library for accessing the MediaWiki API from .Net languages (e.g. C#).

Re: [Wikitech-l] LinqToWiki: new library for accessing the API from .Net
I didn't realize that was a requirement for libraries (the library allowed setting the UserAgent, but it didn't force it until now). I have made that change and setting the UserAgent is now required.

Re: [Wikitech-l] LinqToWiki: new library for accessing the API from .Net
Thanks for fixing it so fast! In the constructor, you might want to add your lib's ID to the useragent param: UserAgent = useragent.Trim() + LinqWiki/1.0; so that it would be possible not only to see that a bot is broken, but also catch framework bugs if all bots show the same problem. --Yurik On Sun, Feb 17, 2013 at 2:09 PM, Petr Onderka gsv...@gmail.com wrote: I didn't realize that was a requirement for libraries (the library allowed setting the UserAgent, but it didn't force it until now).
