Initial Comment: I had completed to make wikipedia.py.page()._putPage() can put pages through API,(in the patch file) but It's too big. I need someone to help debug it.
Some error code cannot handle like server database lag... etc

Message: Yes, that is the plan. The major obstacle at this point is that the API does not yet support querying most special pages (like Special:DoubleRedirects) so that bots that rely on these pages cannot be ported to the rewrite framework.

Message: Alex: Are you reading pywikipedia-l? I will not review this patch, because you are wasting your time by adding API capabilities to the trunk instead of working on the rewrite branch that already uses the API.
