When it exists it will not be saved and the bot restarts using old interwiki dump so when the previous run has started. $ python version.py Pywikipedia \[http\] trunk/pywikipedia \(r7972, 2010/02/27, 10:13:26\) Python 2.6.2 \(r262:71600, Aug 21 2009, 12:22:21\) \[GCC 4.4.1 20090818 \(Red Hat 4.4.1-6\)\]
When a dumpfile still exists the dumpf will be saved to the existing one and the bot takes the alphabetical last pages to -continue. This could cause to continue like a previous run after processing all pages above.
- **assigned_to**: nobody --> xqt
No, it starts from the first line of dump, which was processed long time ago. In my example when a bot was editing pages beginnig with "R" and dump file entries where from J to R, with -continue it started from J.
If the dump file contains entries with J they will be fetched first. Continuing is/should be done with the last entry of the file. Should be confirmed.
