WP1 Manual Update login tutorial
Raw
README.md

These are the steps necessary to complete a Manual Update on the WP1 tool now that login is enabled. More information about the tool can be found here

  1. Go to https://wp1.openzim.org and click "Manual Update" or simply go to https://wp1.openzim.org/#/update
  2. You will see the following page, prompting you to log in: screenshot
  3. Click one of the login buttons and a new window with a Wikipedia login page will appear. If you are already logged in to this page, skip this and go to the next step: screenshot
  4. Once you log in to Wikipedia succesfully, you will see a permissions dialog to allow the WP1 Selection Tools (our project name for OAuth) permission to access your account. You'll notice that there are no editing permissions requested, the permission is simply to identify you as a Wikipedia user: screenshot
  5. Once you grant permission, you will be redirected back to the Manual Update page and can complete the update as has always been done.

If you have already logged into WP1 before (granted permissions) and you are currently logged in to Wikipedia, all steps after 2 will be skipped and the login button on WP1 will simply log you in immediately.

Hope this helps. For any questions, contact Audiodude on English Wikipedia at this page
