:[[User:Peak|Peak]]: I installed jq and ran it and it reports [[:Category:80386 Assembly]] has 4 pages but in reality it only has 1 page. It's best to use the API as web scrapping is fraught with problems, this is one of a couple ways things can go wrong. The MediaWiki API is very powerful and designed for this sort of thing. And you can get the results in json format and demonstrate the natural abilities of jq, it could even end up being less code. -- [[User:3havj7t3nps8z8wij3g9|3havj7t3nps8z8wij3g9]] ([[User talk:3havj7t3nps8z8wij3g9|talk]]) 00:02, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 
[[User:craigd|CraigD]]: I noticed a problem while looking at the Nim example; there is a request limit of 500, while there are over 500 languages. Should this be bumped?
