Initial Comment: I am using snapshot 2007-06-19:

In our wiki we are using title prefixes for articles that are not in german. They are Fr: (French) and En: (Englisch).

One of our French articles marks the end of a subarticle of [[Special:All Pages]] (see here: http://www.wiki-aventurica.de/index.php?title=Spezial:Alle_Seiten)

If I am using commandline option -start:! the script runs into a recursion. After Fr:xxxx is yielded the script whishes to continue with article xxxx, which is in my case alphabetically before Fr:xxxx. You can see, that this leads to a recursion. If xxxx is after Fr:xxxx, some articles might be skipped.

I detected the reponsible line of code: wikipedia.py line 3504 # save the last hit, so that we know where to continue when we # finished all articles on the current page. Append a '!' so that # we don't yield a page twice. start = Page(self,hit).titleWithoutNamespace() + '!'

Maybe this can also be fixed in titleWithoutNamespace()

Is it necessary to cut off the namespace?

This item can be closed.

The problem was caused through wrong entries in wikiaventurica_family.py

I don't have these problems with the actual release. That's why I stepped back.

We worked around the initial problem within our wiki.

The timeouts are a way to reduce database server load during peak times. See: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Maxlag_parameter

Maybe your server is generally a bit slow, so try to increase the maxlag parameter in your user-config.py, for example:

maxlag = 10

I stepped back to snapshot 2007-06-19 because of several problems with nightly build 2007-08-10 08:39:28.

With this version my scripts were not able to change pages with wikipedia.Page.put(). Server timeout was reported frequently, but the server was not down.

Something is still disturbing. Our language prefixes are still cut off. But so such pages cannot be found in namespace 0.

Thanks now it works.

Some strange thing is, that no redirects are yielded, but parameter includeredirects of AllpagesPageGenerator() is default set to True.

Strange, as these prefixes should not be interpreted as namespaces. For now, please update to SVN or the latest nightly ( http://tools.wikimedia.de/~valhallasw/pywiki/ ), and test if the issue still exists.
