Bot's tasks for which permission is being sought: renaming files with cyrillic/latin character mix in titles.

Edit type (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): periodical manual runs.

Maximum edit rate (e.g. edits per minute): as much as allowed. Using pywiki, potentially it can be up to 60 per minute.

Bot flag requested: (Y/N): Y.

Programming language(s): standard pywiki script movepages.py.

Wikimedia Commons contains several thousands of files with cyrillic/latin character mix in titles, here is a list. Many of them were bulk uploaded with the same error in title, for example files from Keukenhof with the cyrillic К in a latin name. I want to fix those cases through mass renaming using standard pywiki renamer. I used it many times earlier in other wikis, for example see 1 and 2. My bot has bot flag and 600 000 edits in ruwiki since 2011 and Chechen wiki since 2016. MBH (talk) 12:43, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
