Description

Some recentchanges generators of site_generators_tests.TestRecentChanges.test_time_range() gives no result, e.g.:

for change in mysite.recentchanges(
        start=pywikibot.Timestamp.fromISOformat(
            '2008-10-01T01:02:03Z'),
        total=5):
    print('>>', change['timestamp'])
    self.assertIsInstance(change, dict)
    self.assertLessEqual(change['timestamp'], '2008-10-01T01:02:03Z')

never prints a timestamp.
