It's probably a side effect of a change in MediaWiki that went out this
week. Try purging the pages with the empty response.

Hi there!
I'm trying to generate 10 random articles in Hebrew using this request:
https://he.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=xml&action=
query&generator=random&grnlimit=10&grnnamespace=0&prop=extracts&exintro&
explaintext
As you can see, I'd like to get their intro, but some of the articles'
intro is empty in the API response, even though it's not empty in Wikipedia
itself.
I have tried to make the same request in English, and I the problem didn't
happen.
This is the first time I encounter this weird problem after making this
request in my App for over a year... Am I missing something? Is there any
new information that I should add to the request or it's just a bug?
Thanks!
