Dumpgenerator.py script fails when the main page isn't "Main Page"/Special:Version is localised #43

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
When trying to run dumpgenerator.py on some wikis of Referata (using the script 
found in trunk/referata), a 404 error occurs when the main page is located, say 
Project:Main Page instead of the usual "Main Page".

Also, the dumpgenerator.py listens to only Special:Version, localised names of 
it (e.g. Especial:Versión) would bring disaster.

Shouldn't affect the original dump, though I am still reporting this error in 
case people *actually* read index.html/SpecialVersion.html of dumps.

This is strange though, Special:Version is still an alias.
For the main page, the actual title is stored on [[MediaWiki:Mainpage]], but 
this shouldn't give errors either.

Hydriz, I saw you dumped the farm several times now, do you still find this 
problem?

I didn't find this problem in the second archive that I made, mainly because 
the wikis that failed in the first archive seems to have already been deleted 
by Referata (all pointing to 404 errors when accessing them).

I believe this problem still exists, since nobody did anything to the code 
anyway :)

But maybe they changed their configuration or something. :)

We have thousands non-English wikis in our collection: 
<https://archive.org/search.php?query=-language%3AEnglish%20collection%3Awikitea
m&sort=-publicdate>.
I've checked the last one and it has a correct Special:Version.html and 
index.html. Closing.
