Pywikibot: checkimages.py reports execution time even when the bot does not execute
See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T70613
If there was an error during initialisation the execution time is output (to stderr by default). e.g.:
$ python pwb.py scripts/checkimages.py -family:wikidata -lang:wikidata -simulate
Your project is not supported by this script.
You have to edit the script and add it!

Pywikibot is a Python-based framework to write bots for MediaWiki. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot for more information. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:John_Vandenberg/GCI_walk-through for a short introduction to using Pywikibot. Patches can be submitted via Gerrit (you need a MediaWiki.org account). See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Gerrit. After you have successfully claimed this task on this site please do use the task in Phabricator for communication instead.
