You should just use requests.get('https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php', params=parameters) and requests does the encoding for you.

You'd probably want a try...catch around this as well, in case the API returns invalid JSON.

That was my fault. Rectified.

YMMV but I find string interpolation more readable than concatenation - you can see the string structure at a glance when skimming the code.

Changed to string formatting. 👍

This is a weird way to use exceptions. Normally you would put the normal behavior in the try branch and the error handling in the except branch. In part because it's easier for others to understand your thinking that way, in part because the main branch tends to be longer and involve multiple types of errors. So now you have an except branch which itself can throw exceptions... not a good thing.
Also, specifically for dictionary existence checks, you can just use 'error' in lst or lst.get('error'), neither of which can throw exceptions.

Yes sir, it should have been that way. I have corrected it now.

This works just fine, but you could also just do something like
if 'error' in edits_data:
raise Error(edits_data['error']['info'])
which is arguably easier to read (all the error rendering happens in one place). As your code becomes more complex, you might want to separate rendering form the main control flow (use mode-view-controller or something similar) and exceptions are one way to handle it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have corrected code to handle all error rendering in except branch.
