Bug ID: 64489
Summary: Clean up limit handling (data/api.py)
Product: Pywikibot
Version: core (2.0)
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General

QueryGenerator has a very complicated structure to handle request limit
handling; some of it is currently working by accident, e.g.:
new_limit = None
(...)
new_limit = min(new_limit, self.api_limit // 10, 250)
Now, new_limit is what? None!
(at least, on python 2 -- this returns an error in python 3)
Which is actually required as some requests don't allow limits, such as
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?maxlag=5&pageids=1969218|225758|3827…
adding &rvlimit=50 returns
error: {
code: "rvmultpages",
info: "titles, pageids or a generator was used to supply multiple pages, but
the limit, startid, endid, dirNewer, user, excludeuser, start and end
parameters may only be used on a single page."
}
