> The problem is that, for my use case, I really just want page titles, but I guess since Pywikibot wants to generate all the page objects using all the metadata, there is no way around this error currently. `CategorizedPageGenerator `does not load the content by default. To get it you have to use `content=False` as parameter or use an explicit cat.get() later. > there can be a large amount of data returned ... in the case of a Commons category, potentially 500 of them at once By default the maximum query increment of data is retrieved which depends on the membership of user groups. You may decrease the maximum query increment by the `step` parameter in your `user-config.py`; this parameter is also available as global `-step` option if your script calls `pywikibot.handle_args()` for all command line options refer the basic.py sample script for that. @Dominicbm: could yo verify whether decreasing the query increment has any effect. It could help to implement a generic solution for this issue.
