Originally from: http://sourceforge.net/p/pywikipediabot/bugs/1537/ Reported by: throwy Created on: 2012-11-07 12:36:40 Subject: Wikia returns cached pages for get.py editarticle.py Original description: get.py and editarticle.py use a method of page fetching that results in cached pages from Wikia replace.py uses the pagegenerator method, which fetches the latest version of pages from Wikia
The issue is probably a Wikia issue, but it would be nice to implement a workaround in pywikipediabot.
Steps to reproduce: Create or edit a page on a Wikia wiki. Fetch the page with editarticle.py or get.py . The bot should fetch a cached version. Edit the page with replace.py and the bot should fetch the most recent version, which is the expected behavior.
Comments: Someone had already solved this issue for me on #pywikipediabot on freenode. It requires very little alteration to get.py and editarticle.py. Unfortunately I did not back up or document the changes before updating pywikipediabot from SVN and the changes were lost.
