Therefore, it is very need a bot that would create archive copies of web pages on the WebCite or similar web-resources. The principle of its operation is: http://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D0%A0%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B2%2C\_%D0%90%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D1%80\_%D0%92%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87&diff=51587586&oldid=51509284 In Russian Wikipedia is User:WebCite Archiver, in the English Wikipedia has a User:WebCiteBOT. In addition, the English Wikipedia has a User:lowercase sigmabot III, written in python. The source code here: https://github.com/legoktm/webcite-bot But setting up and using lowercase sigmabot III are available only for experienced python programmers. We would like a version of the bot, which could be understood as a novice programmers and non-programmers. Also, as with all scripts pywikipediabot, the treatment of which requires no special skills. Thanks.
weblinkchecker is already part of the framework
Is it possible to include lowercase sigmabot III in the framework of pywikipediabot? Thanks.
