Is this change forcing the bot to load every page twice? If so, maybe there is a less costly way to solve the problem.
The description of page.get(force=True) was "Set force to True to ignore all exceptions (including redirects)." which is ambiguous, to say the least. I rewrote botMayEdit completely (no more ugly regexps) (r4104) and changed the docstring to read "Set force to True to force a reload of all page attributes, including errors." (r4105).
Thanks for the report (:
