my example below is using newest trunk
so yes it affects trunk also

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, see

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:The_Master_of_Mayhem&action=history

<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?


     Regards,
     Morten
