Initial Comment: When I run "python redirect.py double", after the first redirect gets fixed, I get:

Changing page [[My article name]] Traceback (most recent call last): File "redirect.py", line 840, in <module> main() File "redirect.py", line 836, in main bot.run() File "redirect.py", line 757, in run self.fix_double_redirects() File "redirect.py", line 611, in fix_double_redirects self.fix_1_double_redirect(mysite, redir_name, summary) File "redirect.py", line 707, in fix_1_double_redirect redir.put(text) File "c:\temp\pywikipedia\wikipedia.py", line 1419, in put newPage, self.site().getToken(sysop = sysop), sysop = sysop) File "c:\temp\pywikipedia\wikipedia.py", line 1549, in _putPage if self.site().has_mediawiki_message("spamprotectiontitle")\ File "c:\temp\pywikipedia\wikipedia.py", line 4983, in has_mediawiki_message v = self.mediawiki_message(key) File "c:\temp\pywikipedia\wikipedia.py", line 4951, in mediawiki_message tree = XML(decode) File "<string>", line 85, in XML SyntaxError: undefined entity &nbsp;: line 14789, column 89

Likewise for "python category.py move -from:"name" -to:"name2":

Message: Daniel?

Have you checked your wiki messages?

Message: And... it's not because you're looking from Spamprotectionttitle that this message in particular is wrong: since ll messages are loaded at once, any wrong message can trigger that behavior.

Message: I know this bug =)

Can you double-check index.php?title=Special:AllMessages&ot=xml for us ? I'm pretty sure that your browser will output the same error. The last time I saw this bug, firefox was confused too.

Then, check the source of the page. I think that the first line will be an empty line. If it is, the XML is non-standard. The first line should be something like <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

Check your mediawiki extensions, one of them is, I think, inserting a new line everytime that index.php is called. This is okay for HTML, but this is wrong for XML. (To check which one is doing that, disable all extensions, and activate them one by one, until the behavior is triggerred. Please report the bugged extension so I can fix it in Mediawiki SVN, or file a bug report to their authors...)

Message: [[MediaWiki:Spamprotectiontitle]] contains only the default text:

Spam protection filter

Message: Probably you want to escape the "undefined entity" by changing "&nbsp;" to "&amp;nbsp;" in the text on [[MediaWiki:Spamprotectiontitle]].

Message: This is on our own MediaWiki site, running 1.11.0.

How can I provide you with the source text?

Message: What site does this occur on? It could be a problem with the site's formatting of the message, or it could be in the XML parser. We need to see the source text to know which.
