The parameters that are likely to change between runs should be broken out to a config file. This includes Pywikibot settings, if possible. This will likely just be a Python-file that gets imported where it's needed.

A few parameters need some processing. These will probably be caught in the code rather than specified in the configuration, since the functions need to be implemented there.
I ended up making a YAML-config with parameters for:
