Please use the MediaWiki API instead. This follows the etiquette when using the API and allows RSSHub to send only one request to Wikipedia.

Thanks! Unfortunately, their parse API is single document only. Multi-document request only work for revision in wikitext format so I had to keep the wikitext -> html conversion code.
In my tests, a single request is sufficient to recover the 7 days but pagination is implemented in case that changes.

It's the proper way in that case though. We do want the calls to be sequential and in any case they have to be since it's for pagination (the next request depends on the result of the preceding).
