ah, sure. I honestly did not think of a KeyboardInterrupt, but I thought that catching all exceptions no matter what was strange when you know the exact exception you want to catch, and that's why I rewrote my fix in r5392.
Thanks for this precision, I learned something new :)

- Bug #1965938 "Article 'Loyalit?\195?\164t' in de.wikt throws UTF decoding
exception" : That article contained an invalid template, {{Loyalit%E4t}}, and it appears that incorrect template names were not handled correctly. Indeed, "except Error" does not catch _ALL_ Errors. "except Exception", or "except:" is needed if you want to catch UnicodeDecodeError
except Error:
except:Hi nicdumz,
please be careful when writing such stuff. If you just write except, you also catch KeyboardInterrupt. But if you catch it, the user can no longer press CTRL-C to interrupt the script.
