Summary: Wikia: wikia-credits footer silently added to edits
Initial Comment:
Pywikipedia [http] trunk/pywikipedia (r6219, Jan 03 2009, 14:34:49)
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 17 2008, 19:35:17)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)]
Wikia have modified MediaWiki to add a <div
id="wikia-credits">...</div> footer to pages. Although this is a
Wikia-specific change, pywikipediabot should really ignore it. It would be easy for a new
user to inadvertantly add this footer to the page source on a large scale without
realising it. Ideally, Wikia would strip the footer again on upload, but they don't
do that at present.
Patch attached.
