You mentioned "a while back" for "apcontinue", show recent was it? This dump generator is attempting to archive all sorts of versions of MediaWiki, or so unless we write a backward compatibility handler in the script itself.

Any wiki running version 1.19, or a 1.20 snapshot from before mid-July, would be returning the old parameter. If you do it right, though, there's little you have to do. Just use whichever keys are given you inside the <query-continue> node. Even with your regular expression mess, just capture which key is given as well as the value and use it as the key for your params dict.
