I guess the method is site.categorymembers which launches the request. With Namespace Parameter the Maximum values to be returned is limited to 500 for bots and 50 for others. Are you running a bot or without bot flag when that error occurs. Could you give an example to reproduce that bug?

Yes, running a test on categories with -simulate and without bot flag.

The wiki is at http://wiki.piratenpartei.de/wiki/index.php and not available in git. It is fairly standard but has tons of local name spaces.

In my test, I do not refer to name spaces explicitly, but of course, category is one of them.

I tried the patch. It seems not to solve the problem in one instance, but creates more output:

... max WARNING: API warning (categorymembers): Too many values supplied for parameter 'gcmnamespace': the limit is 50 max max Dropped throttle(s). ...

The "max" are new.

In another test, the patch seems to avoid the error - maybe because another error is hit earlier:

But here: wiki.piratenpartei.de/Spezial:Kategorien/Ababa you see that the category has one page, so here is something wrong.
