I have used PAWS often and successfully like this:
pwb.py replace -ns:0 -lang:de -weblink:"https://www.wikipdia.org/" -summary:"x" -regex "y" "z" -simulate
But now, after having paused for some months, replacing doesn't work.
The execution does nothing and stops with the following message:
"Execution time:
Script terminated successfully."
When logging in, on page https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MergeAccount, it was said: Login unification complete! So I thought everything should be fine. Maybe there is a connection with https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T376267 ?
What has happened? Do I have to install a new version? Is it a problem of access rights?
