A simple MediaWiki client.
Project description
A really simple MediaWiki API client.
Can:
read pages
edit pages
list pages in category
list page backlinks (“what links here”)
list page transclusions
Requires the requests library.
Example Usage
Get a page:
wiki = Wiki("https://en.wikipedia.org/", "wiki/", "w/api.php")
wiki.login("kenny2wiki", password)
sandbox = wiki.page("User:Kenny2wiki/Sandbox")
Edit page:
# Get the page contents = sandbox.read() # Change contents += "\n This is a test!" summary = "Made a test edit" # Submit sandbox.edit(contents, summary)
List pages in category:
for page in wiki.category_members("Redirects"):
print page.title
Remove all uses of a template:
target_pages = wiki.transclusions("Template:Stub")
# Sort by title because it's prettier that way
target_pages.sort(key=lambda x: x.title)
# Main namespace only
target_pages = [p for p in target_pages if p.query_info()['ns'] == 0]
for page in target_pages:
page.replace("{{stub}}", "")
Made by Kenny2github, based on ~blob8108’s MWAPI client for the Scratch Wiki.
