05:36 🔗 Nemo_bis Not really, emijrp did most of the coding, I just refactor a bit
05:38 🔗 Nemo_bis danneh_: yes, that's the single most common problem and I used bad manners with it: https://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/issues/detail?id=26#c10
05:40 🔗 Nemo_bis (But if you do that, you'll skip most wikis in that list as I did. ;) )
05:43 🔗 Nemo_bis To understand what's going on you need to visit the wiki's Special:Export in your browser and try to export any page. If export is broken, it's not a bug. More often, the URL used by the script is wrong in some way because the wiki is not following a standard URL structure.
08:41 🔗 danneh_ Ah, I see
08:41 🔗 danneh_ Thanks for explaining, I'll look into it and try to see exactly what's going on
09:28 🔗 danneh_ Nemo_bis: Huh, changing it from http to https for that valve dev wiki fixed it for me... weird
09:28 🔗 danneh_ Even though http is valid, and is the proper default
09:42 🔗 Nemo_bis sob
20:20 🔗 exmic creepypasta wiki dump is stuck
20:20 🔗 exmic An error has occurred while retrieving "Creepypasta_Wiki:Chat/Logs/06_November_2013"
20:20 🔗 exmic have it in a shell loop, same thing over and over
20:27 🔗 danneh_ how many times has it tried to grab that page?
20:27 🔗 Nemo_bis exmic: the page may be too big
20:28 🔗 exmic danneh_: few hundred times
20:28 🔗 exmic Nemo_bis: probably
20:28 🔗 Nemo_bis for instance wikihow is impossible to download because we drive varnish crazy
20:29 🔗 Nemo_bis usually what I do is do special:export manually and remove the title from automatic list
20:29 🔗 Nemo_bis most wikis don't know how to configure special:export so there is no limit :P
20:30 🔗 Nemo_bis eek http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Creepypasta_Wiki:Chat/Logs/06_November_2013?action=history
20:35 🔗 exmic heh
20:35 🔗 exmic I'll do that later then
20:35 🔗 Nemo_bis Sadly Wikia is not one of those stupid sysadmins, they interrupt the connection
20:36 🔗 Nemo_bis That might be the reason the script fails, otherwise it would reduce the number of revisions it asks
20:36 🔗 exmic arsewipes
20:36 🔗 Nemo_bis Can you file a bug?
20:37 🔗 exmic later, I'm at work and really should be actually working
20:37 🔗 Nemo_bis Sure, I didn't say now :P
22:08 🔗 danneh_ Just wondering, are you guys working on the dumpgenerator rewrite? Last commit to it says the main guy's no longer working on it
22:10 🔗 Nemo_bis danneh_: nope, nobody is working on it
22:12 🔗 danneh_ Nemo_bis: Fair enough. Whenever I get some time, I might look into it, see if I can either finish it off or integrate the ideas into the main dumpgenerator.py
22:13 🔗 Nemo_bis danneh_: wow :)
22:16 🔗 danneh_ aha, this sorta stuff is fun, especially when it's all just a single script to worry about
