Description

Hi all,

It seems a lot of people have problems with the template expansion function, I found an old version at http://medialab.di.unipi.it/wiki/Wikipedia_Extractor. It works well.

You need to use python2 to run it.

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue's referenced old Wikipedia Extractor implementation and its template expansion behavior, noting that it requires Python 2. Compare that behavior with the current wikiextractor code. Done would mean the current template expansion function works as reliably as the referenced old version, but the issue does not identify files or tests.
