Botwiki [http://botwiki.sno.cc/wiki/Main_Page] has currently MW 1.17 and it is quite unused.
We could handshake with them not to upgrade the wiki and use it as test site with a lower MW version.
I was trying to run basic tests (I had to change botwiki_family.py removing self.namespaces dict) but I get:
>>> site = pywikibot.Site('botwiki', 'botwiki')
>>> page = pywikibot.Page(site, 'Main_Page')
>>> page
Page(Main Page)
>>> page.text
Traceback (most recent call last):

AssertionErrorAt first site it looks paraminfo has some issue with that version (?).
