KeyError: query on kiwki.us

[revi]

Full log here.

  File "dumpgenerator.py", line 2084, in <module>
    main()
  File "dumpgenerator.py", line 2076, in main
    createNewDump(config=config, other=other)
  File "dumpgenerator.py", line 1649, in createNewDump
    getPageTitles(config=config, session=other['session'])
  File "dumpgenerator.py", line 403, in getPageTitles
    for title in titles:
  File "dumpgenerator.py", line 277, in getPageTitlesAPI
    allpages = jsontitles['query']['allpages']
KeyError: 'query'

ApiSandbox mimic'ing action=query list=allpages works well.

The site is announced to shut down their sites by 2017-05-31 15:00 UTC, so you are free to close them if it's too late. :P

I'm having this exact same bug. Is there any further understanding on it?

If https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/%ED%82%A4%EC%9C%84%EC%9C%84%ED%82%A4 is right, this was a MediaWiki 1.27.1 wiki, so hardly an old one. The syntax is correct, because the first 18 namespaces worked. What was wrong with the other?

We could catch the KeyError but only if we know what to do. @SgtLion , what's the wiki you have this problem with?

[SgtLion]

The wiki in question was https://dandwiki.com . If memory serves, I think I ended up getting around the error by specifying certain namespaces and/or manually editing the list that was generated. Admittedly, I have not tried it again since my last post.

If this is the D&D wiki I have in mind, it is in my top 5 list of the most painful to archive. IIRC it had a user talk page whose history alone was in the tens of GiB. After I'm done with the current round of "easy" wikis, I plan to test master with those worst case scenarios. Thank you for mentioning.

That sounds quite possible, in fairness. I did find a way to archive all the pages in the end, though I think it was through other means. As a current admin on that wiki, let me know if I can be of any help with working out the problem cases~
