Wikipedia plugin (v. 28486 ) crashes while getting the list of articles of a Wikipedia category

[coso]

1. Download some data from the city of Venice (Italy)
2. Set "it" as language in the plugin preferences
3. click on "Category" button, write "Venezia", click OK
4. the plugin crashes after a while
5. the list of articles remains empty

The plugin works perfectly if a try with the name of a less important/smaller town, so maybe it is a problem of category dimension (just guessing).

Might take a while to status check 3000 articles of the category Venezia … ;-)
