It tries to fetch only the number of elements
left to reach 5.
When 1 is reached, it stays there for 12000 queries ..
But MW doesnt return one row, as requested..?
I meant that it will keep sending
request with geulimit=1. So to get to to
12000, it will send 12000 request.
It returns one row at the time, containing just query-continue data:
{u'exturlusage': {u'geuoffset': 24}}
{u'exturlusage': {u'geuoffset': 25}}
...
Yes, pywikibot will need to detect that it is
'getting nowhere slowly', and
exponentially increase the new_limit until it finds data or end of dataset.
