Steps to replicate the issue:
- iterate pages with XMLDumpPageGenerator()
What happens?:
For each page an API request is done to check if text can be written by bot, when page is constructed from XML entry:
982 -> page.text = entry.text
This defeats the purpose of off-line processing.

969 def __next__(self) -> pywikibot.page.Page:
970 """Get next Page."""

972 entry = next(self.parser)

540 raiseWhat should have happened instead?:
No access to network, until a page is saved.
