Comment(by humitos):

 Take a look at the content of this page:
  *
 http://es.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=gato&redirects&format=xml

 What should we do?

 I saw that there is a library called
 {{{infoslicer/processing/MediaWiki_Helper.py}}} but it seems to be quite
 obsolete (''Copyright (C) IBM Corporation 2008''). I didn't find a webpage
 pointing to the repository of this library or something like that.

 Maybe we should update this API for a newer one:
