Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Closed Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Purodha B Blissenbach (purodha) Assigned to: Purodha B Blissenbach (purodha) Summary: special_page_limit not honored
Initial Comment: In the config, I have:
special_page_limit = 5000
but my recentechanges bot only operates on 1000 entries, then it stops. Maybe, the limitation is within MediaWiki, or the bot must be run with admin powers or something else, I have not investigated.
I do not really know, when this was changed, but some months ago, it would work as expected, and nothing was changed in the config file since.

Message: Did this change really fix your problem? I don't see how changing redirect.py would have any effect at all on other bots, and you originally posted that the problem was with a recentchanges bot. redirect.py reads off Special:DoubleRedirects, and that page is limited to 1000 entries by a hard-coded limit inside MediaWiki, so changing the special_page_limit won't allow you to retrieve any more pages.
