Troubleshooting

If you're facing issues, it may help to use the verbose flag -v. It will output for you a bunch of useful log messages, including each HTTP request that's being sent, and their responses.

$ wikicmd -v edit 'Some page'

F.A.Q

I see the error message Failed to login with user...

A common mistake is trying to setup wikicmd with your actual login and password information, when you should instead setup a Bot Password for your account. Check this guide for more details.

In case you're still facing this issue even after making sure that your Bot Password is set correctly, maybe it'd be better to report the issue.

I don't like the editor that opens up when I use wikicmd's edit. How do I use editor X?

$ export EDITOR=vscode
$ wikicmd edit 'Some page'
