Summary: Special:Export ignores paremeters limit, dir and offset Product: MediaWiki Version: 1.15-svn Platform: All URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Export OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Normal Component: Export/Import AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] Contrary to the descriptions of the parameters on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parameters_to_Special:Export, Special:Export does not accept parameters limit, dir and offset. When I try to get xml of limited number of revisions of specific wikipedia page, Special:Export always sends back all the revisions in ascending order. This cause malfunctions of receiving script due to the size of the xml. As far as I know, this trouble appeared 25 or 26 March 2009. I was running some scripts to obtain past revisions of wikipedia pages and until then they had no problem.
