I was curious whether this issue would just happen to the rewrite branch, which I mostly use, or if it also concerns trunk. Here's a quick test I did using trunk (revision 10632):
Updating page [[User:Nettrom/sandbox/suggestions]] via API HTTPError: 504 Gateway Time-out WARNING: Could not open 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php'. Maybe the server is down. Retrying in 1 minutes...
I did some simple editing tests using my browser, where it appears that it takes the server about 48s to respond with the saved page.
Cheers, Morten

Do you have any logs from the output? It might indicate if the server said the edit failed, but it didn't in actuality. It could also be an issue with the internet connection your bot has, as dropouts would cause the connection to retry. Though I'm not familiar with the total internal workings of pywikipedia, I can try and help. 300kb+ is big, but I would like to think the servers could still handle it. You might want to put adding notices to that users page on hold though, for the sake of the size and them not editing in 2 months.

Hi all, I noticed that SuggestBot's struggled with saving a user page earlier this week, seehttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:The_Master_of_Mayhem&...
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:The_Master_of_Mayhem&action=history Notice the larger number of saves that have a diff size of 0 bytes.
I suspect it's due to the size of the page, 300+kB, is this a typical problem? If not I can start digging to see if I can figure out what's going on. If it is a common problem, what are some typical ways of solving it? Just checking the page size and skip/abort if it's too large?
