Add mwclient wrapper methods for MediaWiki API operations

[Copilot]

Analyzed codebase to identify functions replaceable by mwclient library methods. Added wrapper methods with automatic fallback to raw API when mwclient unavailable.

Changes

MainPage (super_page.py)

• get_text_mwclient(), save_mwclient(), purge_mwclient(), exists_mwclient()
• get_categories_mwclient(), get_langlinks_mwclient(), get_templates_mwclient()
• get_extlinks_mwclient(), get_backlinks_mwclient(), get_revisions_mwclient()

NEW_API (bot_api.py)

• Search_mwclient(), Get_All_pages_mwclient(), Get_Newpages_mwclient()
• UserContribs_mwclient(), get_logs_mwclient(), expandtemplates_mwclient()

BOTS_APIS (S_API/bot.py)

• append_mwclient(), prepend_mwclient(), move_mwclient()

Documentation

• Added MWCLIENT_REFACTOR_REPORT.md with full analysis of replaceable functions

Usage

page = api.MainPage("Article Title")

# Use mwclient directly (falls back to raw API if unavailable)
text = page.get_text_mwclient()
page.save_mwclient(new_text, summary="Edit via mwclient")

# Original methods unchanged
text = page.get_text()  # Still works as before

All methods use _mwclient suffix. Backwards compatibility preserved.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• ar.wikipedia.org
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/python python -m pytest tests/test_MainPage.py -v --no-header (dns block)
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/python python -m pytest -v --no-header --ignore=tests/unit/api_utils/bot_edit/bot_edit_by_time/ (dns block)
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/python python -m pytest tests/test_MainPage.py tests/test_ALL_APIS.py -v --no-header (dns block)
• mdwiki.org
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/python python -m pytest -v --no-header --ignore=tests/unit/api_utils/bot_edit/bot_edit_by_time/ (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
