mediawiki | 🌻 The collaborative editing software that runs Wikipedia. Mirror from https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/ | Wiki library

I have been trying to extract the text from some Wikipedia dumps. I need to get the text from the id, title, ns, timestamp, username, ip, and text tags in the full-history English Wikipedia dump.

I read and modified the code from https://www.heatonresearch.com/2017/03/03/python-basic-wikipedia-parsing.html.

I was able to write the code below:

I have old URL path for all pages

I'm trying to create a MediaWiki extension that would compare content of a page before and after saving an edit. I figured out MultiContentSave hook would be the proper one to use. Inside I can get edited page content using following code:

I am developing a web application which shows basic information about basketball players. I get all the data from wikidata by basic sparql queries. However, some players are missing some basic information(height, weight, their current team, etc.). And I would like to allow users of my web app to edit/add missing information on my app and I would send the edit request to wikidata. How it can be done ? I found Wikibase/API where is written that "The Wikibase API allows querying, adding, removing and editing information on Wikidata or any other Wikibase instance." https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/API

But I could not find anywhere at least something about how to edit/add data or some example post request how it works(I'm pretty sure it is there, but maybe I'm just blind...). If someone has any experience with this, I would appreciate any help of where to look and what to read. Thanks

Is there any way to suppress deprication warnings in mediawiki? For e.g. I am getting this message at the top of some of the pages on my personal wiki site.

Is there an easy way to say pandoc converter I wish to replace all my source codes in mediawiki article convert to an lstlisting environment on its Latex output?

At this moment, all my some code... environments are converted into something like this

I am currently trying to follow this tutorial: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Installation

I have the latest version of both MediaWiki and WikiBase (1.35) I'm currently trying to run the maintenance scripts. I have installed both Wikibase Repository and Wikibase Client.

When I try to run "php maintenance/update.php" it gives me this error:

I use Mediawiki to store all the commands I need to do to rebuild my system from scratch when a Fedora upgrade is available.

Until now, I would simply copy/paste a huge set of commands into a terminal window and let it run free.

I am trying to upgrade my Fedora 32 to 34 and this no longer works. When anything in my script enters a CLI - like mysql or even a new bash shell, execution stops until I type 'exit'. Then, the SQL commands or whatever are executed in bash and makes an ugly display.

Here is the most simplified example of this that I could create. This works fine in Fedora 32 but gets stuck in Fedora 34:

I want to capture the image tag of MediaWiki format, e.g,

[[ Image:Justus Sustermans - Portrait of Galileo Galilei (Uffizi).jpg|left|thumb|upright|[[Galileo]] is often referred to as the Father of [[modern astronomy]], portrait by [[Justus Sustermans]]]]

I have to ignore the inner [[...]] to match the whole (shown by bold [[ and ]]). I came up with
