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)
