Bug ID: 68564 Summary: textlib.categoryFormat() only works for site specified by config or command line Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: critical Priority: Unprioritized Component: textlib.py Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: jayvdb@gmail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---

textlib.categoryFormat() only works when the categories are on the same site as config.family/config.mylang

The breakage was introduced with:

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/147845/

Which caused the ar:wikipedia and test:wikidata travis builds to break https://travis-ci.org/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/jobs/30527485

I have tested both of these proposed changes, and neither fixes this breakage: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/147860/ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/148553/
