I propose also to announce the workshop in the pwb mailing list pywikibot@lists.wikimedia.org.

@Xqt Great suggestion! I missed your comment earlier. I will forward the message to the list and in future remember to do an early announcement as well..

I noticed that there are a lot of Bash codes while running pwb. I'm a windows user and run python using either pycharm or python's default ide. I'm not that much comfortable in bash. Is it possible to show running some simple scripts for users comfortable in gui like me?

Pywikibot scripts are made to run in Windows Command Prompt.

• To start it type cmd and press [Enter].
• Set the path to your Pywikibot folder e.g. cd c:\pywikibot\core if this is the Pywikibot directory
• now run your script (here touch.py) like pwb touch -page:Foo -simulate

You can run the scripts via IDLE but it is not recommended to do it:

• Start IDLE from the Pywikibot directory and run the shell:

from scripts import basic  # import the script (here basic.py)
basic.main('text:Foo', '-page:Project:Sandbox', '-simulate')  # pass arguments to the script and run it

Survey results covering the two previous workshops:

• Overall quality and usefulness were rated as decent - 50% rated it as 3 and above (on a scale of 5).
• Increase in skills reported by participants – 33% of survey respondents said their familiarity with the technical topic increased after attending the workshop (from 3 on a scale of 5 to 4).
• Skills gained / Applying the learnings from the workshop
  • Folks tried the scripts on other wikis - Commons, Wikisource, Wikidata
  • It was helpful for them to learn about PAWS
  • Writing an archiving bot for fawiki (Farsi Wikipedia), which would cover some special closing templates
• Additional feedback
  • Encourage the captioning feature in Google Meet so participants can clearly understand the mentors with “English as their second language.”
  • Focus on PAWS more than the command line.
  • The content is too advanced.
  • Notify people in multiple venues about the workshop
