Description

delete.py with botpasswords seemed to be the only way to get around the OAuth issue with this script. I've been using this for some time until today where it broke. I cannot delete more than one page without pywikibot asking me for the password every time (pages to be deleted suplied with the -file:todelete.txt option).

>>> MediaWiki:AllmessagesnotsupportedDB <<<
Do you want to delete [[bs:MediaWiki:AllmessagesnotsupportedDB]]? ([y]es, [N]o, [a]ll, [q]uit): y

Using BotPassword on https://fa.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/ I could not reproduce this issue:

$ python pwb.py delete -family:wpbeta -lang:fa -file:todelete.txt
Enter a reason for the deletion: myreason


>>> I <<<
Do you want to delete [[fa:I]]? ([y]es, [N]o, [a]ll, [q]uit): y

Logging in to wpbeta:fa as Dalba@Dalba


>>> J <<<
Do you want to delete [[fa:J]]? ([y]es, [N]o, [a]ll, [q]uit): y

The error message that you're receiving is similar to the one in T154324. If you were logged in through another session with the same account then perhaps this task should be closed as a duplicate of that.

According to T154324#4164161 this should also be resolvable in pywikibot itself and I think https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/pywikibot/core/+/531589 will do it.
