Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Bernhard Mayr (falk_steinhauer) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Deadlock in wikipedia.mediawiki_message()
Initial Comment: All tries to run a script that implicitly needs to call wikipedia.mediawiki_message() fail with the following error message: "WARNING: No text area found on www.wiki-aventurica.de/index.php?title=MediaWiki:whatlinkshere-next&action=edit. Maybe the server is down. Retrying in 1 minutes..."
This message is repeated infinitely with longer wait periods.
The failure is due to the missing textarea in "http://www.wiki-aventurica.de/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Whatlinkshere-next&a...". So line 3992 of wikipedia.py (if tree.textarea is None:) returns TRUE all time and causes the deadlock.
With this problem I can't use the global option "-ref" (ReferringPageGenerator), because it obviously causes the call of mediawiki_message().
I hope you can find a solution for wikis that do not have text on this special page.
