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.
