Beta16 added a comment. Maybe (this is only a hypothesis) the wiki detect an editing conflict only in the second step, when the script save the page.
But if 1. the script: Retrieve 50 pages from wikipedia 2. the script runs and processes the pages, one by one and then saves it 3. an user made an edit in a page that is not been processed yet by the script 4. when the script processes the page, it made its own edit and saves the page with the old revision (the content is retrieved at point 1.) without user's edit I hope it's more clearly now TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T116371 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: Beta16 Cc: XZise, jayvdb, Aklapper, pywikibot-bugs-list, Beta16 _______________________________________________ pywikibot-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikibot-bugs
