Comment 1 Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) 2013-10-05 04:38:26 UTC 
This is not a bug but the normal way handling server errors: increasing the wait time and try again.

Comment 3 Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) 2013-10-05 04:38:30 UTC 
I can open http://fi.wikipedia.org/w/api.php with my browser ok, so Wikipedia server is working ok. Same bot also uses archivebot.py without problems \(editing and creating pages\).
Comment 4 Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) 2013-10-05 04:38:32 UTC 
Problem is related with big page size. Page with 3 articles goes thru, but page with 55000+ articles creates this error.

Comment 6 Amir Ladsgroup 2013-10-24 22:07:14 UTC 
When the page is big, mediawiki API doesn't let the bot to import the content. It's nothing we can do right now and the bug is not related to PWB, try listifying smaller categories or break it to several files
