API action expandtemplates requires a value for the text param https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=expandtemplates&text= { "servedby": "mw1032", "error": { "code": "notext", "info": "The text parameter must be set", "*": "See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php for API usage" } } This causes a failure running the tests on wikia page_tests.TestPageObject.testLinks Traceback (most recent call last): File "./tests/page_tests.py", line 461, in testLinks iw = list(mainpage.interwiki(expand=True)) File "./pywikibot/page.py", line 1150, in interwiki text = self.expand_text() File "./pywikibot/tools.py", line 647, in wrapper return obj(*__args, **__kw) File "./pywikibot/page.py", line 499, in expand_text includecomments=includecomments) File "./pywikibot/site.py", line 992, in callee return fn(self, *args, **kwargs) File "./pywikibot/site.py", line 1958, in expand_text return req.submit()['expandtemplates'][key] File "./pywikibot/data/api.py", line 1213, in submit self._data = super(CachedRequest, self).submit() File "./pywikibot/data/api.py", line 1071, in submit raise APIError(code, info, **result["error"]) pywikibot.data.api.APIError: notext: The text parameter must be set This happens because the Wikia homepage is an empty page http://www.wikia.com/Wikia?action=edit http://www.wikia.com/api.php?format=jsonfm&action=query&titles=Wikia&prop=info|revisions&rvprop=ids|flags|content
