I'm interested in the biggest number of revisions I can get through a single request. The documentation here http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php says that rvlimit would be a good parameter to pass if you want to fetch some revisions of an article and you want to set the number of revisions you receive : rvlimit - limit how many revisions will be returned (enum) No more than 500 (5000 for bots) allowed. I tried that myself and only got to at most 50 revisions per request. Can I get more than 50 revisions per request ? I understand that the program I'm running must be identified as a bot. Do I have to make an account for it and set in the notify wikipedia that it is a bot ? How can this notification be made ? What other 'benefits' does a bot have ? Thank you
