Hi Strainu,

The easiest way to get more debug information is to add -v -v -debug as parameters (or by passing those to pywikibot.handleArgs()). The logging layer will then write lots of debug output to logs/<scriptname>-bot.log, including the exact API queries (is that how you found the URL in your message, or did you build that manually?). You could first try requesting only 50 results; the API query should then be successful, and will include the username (via prop=userinfo).

Finally, you can try clearing your cookies (rename/delete pywikibot.lwp), and see if logging in again solves the issue.

Hi,

I'm trying to retrieve 500 pages from a wiki at a time using
PreloadingGenerator and I receive the warning "Too many values
supplied for parameter 'pageids': the limit is 50".

I checked by using the query [1] when logged in as a bot and it works
(I do not get the warning), so I suppose the issue is with my
pywikibot.

I tried to make sure I was logged in [2], then ran the code again and
I still get the warning. On the other hand, page updates are done
correctly (with the bot username). The code I use is more or less the
following:

transGen = pagegenerators.ReferringPageGenerator(rowTemplate,

 onlyTemplateInclusion=True,

 step=1000)
filteredGen = pagegenerators.NamespaceFilterPageGenerator(transGen,

 [namespace], site)
pregenerator = pagegenerators.PreloadingGenerator(filteredGen, 500)

Any ideas on how to debug further?

Thanks,
   Strainu
