Summary: Replace.py adds wikia-credits text
Initial Comment:
Whenever replace.py makes a change to an article, it adds the following text to the very
end of the article: <div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br
/><small>From [[wikia:c:starwars|Wookieepedia]], a [[wikia:|Wikia]]
wiki.</small></div>
You can see a test of this on Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki, here:
http://starwars.wikia.com/index.php?title=%22Rachet%22_Gramzee&diff=178…
This seems to be related to a MediaWiki upgrade. I've tried it on both my old version
of Pywikipedia, and several of the new snapshots, with the same problem occurring. Any
help with this would be greatly appreciated.

This is not only a Wookieepedia problem, but also occurs on (probably all)
other Wikia wikis, for example on
http://aachen.wikia.com/wiki/Spezial:Exportieren/Hauptseite .
I would also say that this is a Wikia bug and that they should fix it. By
the way, haven't we discussed this issue some time before already?

I don't know what to do about it, but I can tell you what the cause is:
The cause is that the bot gets its text from [[Special:Export]], and on
Wookieepedia this text has been added to all pages on the export page. If
you have contact with the people who can change that, you can ask them to
change it back or to create a special 'raw' export page for the bot.
