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: Pending

Resolution: None Priority: 4 Private: No Submitted By: André Malafaya Baptista (malafaya) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Updating complex pages

Initial Comment: When updating complex pages, it's common to get a Timeout, because the Wikimedia server does not process and return the page within the expected time. In suchs cases (when a timeout exception is thrown), my suggestion si that pywikipedia should try to fetch the page again and check if there are any differences against the new page to be saved. If not, then it should proceed and not block indefinitely in such pages.

Message: This is the way the bot works. It trys to put the page for several times which is given by maxretries in the (user_)config.py. Edit conflicts are detected (by the mw api) except you are using your bot account for multiple edits on the same page in the same time.
