[edit] Discussion

Approved for trial (50 edits).. As a side note, shouldnt you be using maxlag? —Reedy Boy 16:41, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Because most of the pages that link to template the English wikisource, I use xml to avoid accessing many pages that need no work. This is very slow because pywikipedia.repalce.py does not support the combination -xml with -ref. If I use the -ref option, most pages that are downloaded are not changed. Maxlag is set to the default of 5.  Andreas  (T) 17:36, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
