Hi Bináris,

The issue here seems to be the use of the stable tag (not sure why it exists in the first place) rather than the stable branch. Using 

svn co https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot/branches/stable

works as expected.

However: SVN support on Github is scheduled to be removed in January 2024: https://github.blog/2023-01-20-sunsetting-subversion-support/ , so I would suggest switching to another distribution method (pip, nightlies, git) sooner rather than later.

I've updated the documentation pages with the correct URL plus a warning about the pending deprecation.

Kind regards,
Merlijn van Deen / valhallasw

Sorry for the previous, but this one seems to be real.

I followed
