(Maybe a new with mw 1.24) Site,preloadpageds only yields 1 item. Sample as follows: >>> import pwb >>> import pywikibot as py >>> s = py.Site('bar') >>> pagenames =['Haiku', 'Homer', 'Ilias', 'Watzmo', 'Wean'] >>> pagelist = [py.Page(s, name) for name in pagenames] >>> gen = s.preloadpages(pagelist) >>> for p in gen: print p.title() Retrieving 5 pages from wikipedia:bar. Haiku the request was /w/api.php?maxlag=5&format=json&rvprop=ids|flags|timestamp|user|comment|content&prop=revisions|info|categoryinfo&titles=Homer|Ilias|Watzmo|Wean|Haiku&meta=userinfo&indexpageids=&action=query&uiprop=blockinfo|hasmsg inserting direct request call into preloadpages with data = rvgen.request.submit() print '#### ####', len(data) gives me #### #### 1
direct web call without bot: http://bar.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?maxlag=5&format=jsonfm&rvprop=ids|flags|timestamp|user|comment&prop=revisions|info|categoryinfo&titles=Homer|Ilias|Watzmo|Wean|Haiku&meta=userinfo&indexpageids=&action=query&uiprop=blockinfo|hasmsg gives the complete result
I can't reproduce this; I ran exactly the same script and it printed five titles.
