--- Comment #1 from Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) <[email protected]> --- Logged In: YES user\_id=855050 Originator: NO The reason for this is that PreloadingGenerator calls wikipedia.getAll\(\), which uses the wiki's \[\[Special:Export\]\] page to retrieve the page\(s\); the data structure returned by \[\[Special:Export\]\] does not include the protection status, so it is impossible to determine whether a preloaded page is protected. The only way I can see to fix this within the existing framework is to have canBeEdited\(\) call self.get\(force=True\) instead of just self.get\(\), but that would completely defeat the purpose of preloading the pages. The other alternative is your suggestion of using the API, but this would break backwards-compatibility for many wiki families, and I think that is better addressed in the rewrite branch. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Pywikipedia-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikipedia-bugs
