Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Xwing328 (xwing328) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Replace.py adds wikia-credits text
Initial Comment: Whenever replace.py makes a change to an article, it adds the following text to the very end of the article: <div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [[wikia:c:starwars|Wookieepedia]], a [[wikia:|Wikia]] wiki.</small></div>
You can see a test of this on Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki, here: http://starwars.wikia.com/index.php?title=%22Rachet%22_Gramzee&diff=1780...
This seems to be related to a MediaWiki upgrade. I've tried it on both my old version of Pywikipedia, and several of the new snapshots, with the same problem occurring. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know what to do about it, but I can tell you what the cause is: The cause is that the bot gets its text from [[Special:Export]], and on Wookieepedia this text has been added to all pages on the export page. If you have contact with the people who can change that, you can ask them to change it back or to create a special 'raw' export page for the bot.
