Pywikipedians,
What is the best way to get the wikitext for every revision of a page?
I've been trying to understand why pywikipedia.fullVersionHistory does not
keep going. It seems to do one or two or maybe three fetches of
revCount=500 and then it stops --- even if there are many more revisions.
Is there a fix for this?
For example, for Barack_Obama, I get consistently 1393 revisions, and the
most recent in that list is from 2006 !
Here's how I am calling it:
h = p.fullVersionHistory(getAll=True, reverseOrder=True, revCount=500)
where 'p' is a Page instance.
Advice?
Thanks!
John
