Hi everyone,
After last nights mediawiki code update on all Wikimedia wiki's (see http://techblog.wikimedia.org/2009/09/software-updates-wednesday-morning/ ) all bots are broken. This is probably because Special:AllMessages was changed. See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=603138&aid=2860410&... for the bug.
ACK, all bots on WMF are broken because of this bug. More specifically, it is because &ot=xml is not supported by the new MW code. It means that we'll have... to use screen-scraping to get the messages :(
