I call this a regression, because you can no longer split logs spanning multiple days (of course the simple workaround is merging them manually with cat).
This looks like a compat issue, as core interwiki logging is done by the logging layer which can be split a certain size.
Sorry if I have misunderstood.
Pywikibot has two versions: Compat and Core. This task was filed about the older version, called Pywikibot-compat, which is not under active development anymore. Hence I'm lowering the priority of this task to reflect the reality. Unfortunately, the Pywikibot team does not have the manpower to retest every single bug report / feature request against the (maintained) Pywikibot code base. Furthermore, the code base of Pywikibot-Compat has changed a lot compared to the code base of Pywikibot-Core so there is a chance that the problem described in this task might not exist anymore. Please help: Unfortunately manpower is limited and does not allow testing every single reported task again. If you have time and interest in Pywikibot, please upgrade to Pywikibot-Core and add a comment to this task if the problem in this task still happens in Pywikibot-Core (or directly edit the task by removing the Pywikibot-compat project and adding the Pywikibot project to this task). To learn more about Pywikibot and to get involved in its development, please check out https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Development Thank you for your understanding.
By the way I had created/improved a related script many years ago, which I think I uploaded on some repository.
