The pywikipedia bot may be used to do all kind of things that are important for the maintenance of a [[mediawiki]] project. When this software is to be used outside of the [[wikimedia]] projects, some configuration needs to be done.

===Example===
The '''meta_family.py''' is the "family" definition for a project that is internally only one database. Therefore it is most likely the one to copy for an external project. The name of the new file must be "YourProject"_family.py where "YourProject" is the name of your project. When you open this file with a text-editor, there are a few things you need to change:

*name = 'meta'
::'meta' must be "YourProject" and must be the same as the language you indicate in [[user-config.py]].
*self._addlang('meta',
::'meta' must be the same as the language you indicate in '''user-config.py'''.
*location = 'meta.wikimedia.org',
::meta.wikimedia.org must be the URL that is used for your project.
*namespaces = { 4: u'Meta',
::'Meta' is the namespace of your project typically it is the name of your project
*5: u'Meta talk' })
::'Meta talk' is the name of the talk namespace indicated in the previous point.

===Wikitravel===
*For the [[Wikitravel]] projects (non wikimedia projects) there is already a family created. It is an example with a different way of naming projects.
