Summary: continue not working as expected for category member
query
Product: MediaWiki
Version: wikimedia-deployment
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: API
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]

I recently had regression tests start failing on a wikipedia API call intended
to return all of the member articles of a named category. The specific test is
pointed at the Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Canada_MPs category.
The exact query issued to the wikimedia servers is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=categorymembers&cmlimit=100&cmprop=title&format=xml&cmtitle=Category:Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Canada_MPs
notice that the first category member returned is:
<cm ns="0" title="Agar Rodney Adamson"/>
The query-continue element is as follows:
<query-continue>
<categorymembers cmcontinue="10048701"/>
</query-continue>
Issuing the next query:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=categorymembers&cmlimit=100&cmprop=title&format=xml&cmtitle=Category:Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Canada_MPs&cmcontinue=10048701
Notice that the first member returned is:
<cm ns="0" title="Agar Rodney Adamson"/>
A number of members are repeated as continue ids are followed. Additionally, a
number of members that should appear are never returned. For example, the
article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Reid is a member of the
Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Canada_MPs category but is never returned by
the API call.
