Message: Even in that case, we should not display that message. And a network error message that's 622 characters long? Really?

The "WARNING: Could not open 'http://sxerks.wikia.com/api.php'. Maybe the server or your connection is down" displays on *any* error in the connection, which could still very well be on our part.

Message: This is not a Pywikipedia error, this is a connection error, try again later. It clearly states: "Could not open 'http://sxerks.wikia.com/api.php'. Maybe the server or your connection is down."

The line before it may be an encoding error of the network error message itself, see bug#3153555 at https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3153555&group_id=93.... I suppose you have a non-English environment on your computer.

We have nothing to do with wikia server or your network connection.
