Initial Comment: Pywikipedia [http] trunk/pywikipedia (r6219, Jan 03 2009, 14:34:49) Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 17 2008, 19:35:17) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)]

Wikia have modified MediaWiki to add a <div id="wikia-credits">...</div> footer to pages. Although this is a Wikia-specific change, pywikipediabot should really ignore it. It would be easy for a new user to inadvertantly add this footer to the page source on a large scale without realising it. Ideally, Wikia would strip the footer again on upload, but they don't do that at present.

Patch attached.
