Description

I often run replace.py and cosmetic_changes.py, and they log me in automatically.

Today I tried running movepage.py, and it didn't. Running login.py first resolved.

Isn't movepages.py supposed to log me in automatically, too?

Using login.py is the usual way to login. There are only a few scripts which have implemented an automatic login (clean_sandbox, cosmetic_changes, delete, editarticle, imageuncat, newitem, replace, touch, solve_disambiguation).
