PyWikibot [1] is a Python-based framework to write bots for MediaWiki. There are currently 2 versions of pywikibot currently used: - version 1.0 (also known as pywikibot-compat) is the legacy version - version 2.0 (also known as pywikibot-core) is a rewrite of the original framework, focusing solely on MediaWiki wikis with an API (version 1.14 or newer) and offering an improved internal architecture. There are a number of scripts used by various robot operators that were used in pywikibot-compat but have not yet been adapted to work with pywikibot-core. One of those is unusedfiles.py, which Finds unused media using [[Special:Unusedimages]]. You can find information about how to convert the script on [2], [3]. Patches can be submited through the gerrit uploader [4] (you need a MediaWiki.org account). More documentation on gerrit can be found at [5].

I am a Google Code In Student who has accepted this Bug to conver unusedfiles.py from compat to core(https://google-melange.appspot.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2013/5799131951923200). Should I upload it to the original repository of pywikibot/compat, or to the pywikibot/core repository where it is ported to?
The file needs to get in pywikibot/core, so you need to generate a patch for that project.
Thanks fore the response. Sorry, but i seem to have another problem, and I got the dump from the Gerrit uploader: Result from uploading patch: git clone --depth=1 ssh://gerrit/pywikibot/core /tmp/1609560.1.webgrid/tmp5VqLtG Cloning into '/tmp/1609560.1.webgrid/tmp5VqLtG'...

Upload failed Reason: Patch failed (is your patch in unified diff format, and does it patch apply cleanly to master?) (check log above for details) I read about using git diff in the Gerrit tutorial, should I use it instead?
How did you generate your patch? Normally, the procedure I suggest is the following: - clone the pywikibot/core branch - add the file, make the modifications etc. - git add unusedfiles.py - git commit (make sure you write a good commit description) - git format-patch -1 HEAD See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6658313/generate-a-git-patch-for-a-specific-commit for details. The git format-patch command will generate a patch file that you can then upload to gerrit.
