Disputatio Usoris:Amahoney/Non stipula

Latest comment: abhinc 7 annos by Amahoney

Has anyone else noticed that there are always exactly 499 pages listed here? Since there are over 1,000 in the relevant category, this is clearly wrong. As best I can tell, the get_pages_in_category method (in the Perl MediaWiki::Bot library) ignores any maximum value you ask for and just always returns 499 pages, and the undocumented get_all_pages_in_category seems to do the same. I'll look at this some more, but for now be aware that this is not actually a complete list. A. Mahoney (disputatio) 20:37, 26 Ianuarii 2016 (UTC)Reply

Aha! It needs to see the bot flag. I'd been running the program without being logged in, since after all it's read-only (I write the table to a local file and update the page by hand -- safer that way). But then the program is artificially throttled; if I run it from my bot account, it can see everything and it's much happier. So now we have the whole list. A.

Any chance the program could mark articles that are in the 10K list? Fixing those up should be one of the most urgent tasks. IacobusAmor (disputatio) 19:19, 29 Iulii 2016 (UTC)Reply
Funny, the same thing had just occurred to me. I'll do this on Tuesday when I'm in the office again (I am teaching this summer, but only 2 days/week). Meanwhile, "Non stipula" does show up on the 10K stats table. Last time I ran that, there were about a dozen of them. A. Mahoney (disputatio) 13:22, 30 Iulii 2016 (UTC)Reply
