[Wikia-l] New Repo - Wikia-Pywikibot

[DanTMan]

That's because you're still using the path function. I had that same 
error, pywikipediabot gave a new function scriptpath which defaults to 
outputting a '/w'. The new setup has path and apipath depending on that. 
You override path to use the proper form, but because scriptpath still 
outputs a /w the apipath is still considered /w/api.php. To fix that you 
would instead override scriptpath and output ''.

^_^ But don't worry about that. I committed a new family file. Though 
your 'aocwiki' goes against the naming standards I'm using for my family 
files, so I just used 'aoc'.
http://svn.nadir-point.com/viewvc/wikia-pywikibot/families/aoc_family.py?view=markup

However your entries for aocfinland are largely broken, and they use a 
completely different structure than Wikia. Do you absolutely need it? If 
you absolutely need it I can make one for that wiki as 'aocfinland' even 
though I'm avoiding putting most non-wikia wiki in the repo.
