It may be still an idea to (unofficially) port the compat to newer version of Python (though no new feature will be added). Pywikibot Compat is no longer officially maintained, yes. But as an unmaintained project, anyone can adopt it and do whatever they want to. > Anyway per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Overview the core should theorically support MediaWiki 1.14, so it may be a real bug. This is what this task is about. Pywikibot tests don't test older MediaWiki wiki than 1.31.1, but Pywikibot docs still claim support for 1.14+. Pywikibot tests should definitely test lowest supported MediaWiki version (and perhaps even some other versions as well). We can establish test set of empty wikis (using WMCS?) or perhaps establish an empty wiki during tests (can increase testing time though). Also there are surely some issues with older MW version wikis (as noticed in the experiment described in the description), which should be solved on Pywikiobt's side or those MW versions should be dropped.
