Subject: Wikia returns cached pages for get.py editarticle.py
Original description:
get.py and editarticle.py use a method of page fetching that results in cached
pages from Wikia
replace.py uses the pagegenerator method, which fetches the latest version of
pages from Wikia
The issue is probably a Wikia issue, but it would be nice to implement a
workaround in pywikipediabot.
Steps to reproduce:
Create or edit a page on a Wikia wiki. Fetch the page with editarticle.py or
get.py . The bot should fetch a cached version. Edit the page with replace.py
and the bot should fetch the most recent version, which is the expected
behavior.
Comments:
Someone had already solved this issue for me on \#pywikipediabot on freenode.
It requires very little alteration to get.py and editarticle.py. Unfortunately
I did not back up or document the changes before updating pywikipediabot from
SVN and the changes were lost.
