Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: General Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Throwy (throwy) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Wikia returns cached pages for get.py editarticle.py

Initial Comment: 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.
