There are small typos in:
- dumpgenerator.py
- wikiteam/mediawiki.py
Fixes:
- Should read `inconsistencies` rather than `inconsistences`.
- Should read `partially` rather than `partialy`.
Using the API and the Special:Allpages scraper should result in the same number of titles.
Fix the detection of the next subpages on Special:Allpages.
Change the max depth to 100 and implement an anti loop (could fail on non-western wiki).
getXMLPage() yield on "</page>" so xmlfiledesc cannot contains "</mediawiki>".
Change the search to "</page>" and inject "</mediawiki>" if it is missing to fixup the XML
* Make it easy to batch requests for some wikis where millions of titles
are really just one-revision thread items and need to be gone through
as fast as possible.
* Status code error message.
Tested with a partial dumps over 100 MB:
https://tinyvillage.fandom.com/api.php
(grepped <title> to see the previously downloaded ones were kept and the
new ones continued from expected; did not validate a final XML).
Otherwise we end up using Special:Export even though the export API
would work perfectly well with --xmlrevisions.
For some reason using the general requests session always got an empty
response from the Wikia API.
May also fix images on fandom.com:

Avoid UnboundLocalError: local variable 'xml' referenced before assignment
If the page exists, its XML export is returned by the API; otherwise only
the header that we were looking for.

* Actually proceed to the next page when no continuation.
* Provide the same output as with the usual per-page export.
Tested on a MediaWiki 1.16 wiki with success.

* Still maintained and available for python 3 as well.
* Allows raw API requests as we need.
* Does not provide handy generators, we need to do continuation.
* Decides on its own which protocol and exact path to use, fails at it.
* Appears to use POST by default unless asked otherwise, what to do?
* It was just an old trick to get past some barriers which were waived with GET.
* It's not conformant and doesn't play well with some redirects.
* Some recent wikis seem to not like it at all, see also issue #311.
