Is there a FAQ or more docs on MediaWiki's API? The info I found: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
seems minimal? My questions: % I use snownews and need a single URL to see my watchlist on my favorite MediaWiki, but this fails w/ an "internal server error": http://wiki.lspace.org/api.php?action=login&lgname=kellyterryjones&lgpassword=thisisnotreallymypassword&action=feedwatchlist I can get to my watchlist using: curl -c cookies.txt -O 'http://wiki.lspace.org/api.php?action=login&lgname=kellyterryjones&lgpassword=stillnotmypassword curl -b cookies.txt -O 'http://wiki.lspace.org/api.php?action=feedwatchlist' but it's a two-step process, and that won't work w/ snownews. % Can I edit pages w/ the MediaWiki API or is it for queries only? % Is /query.php dead on newer Wikis? These URLs gives me 404 errors: http://wiki.lspace.org/wiki/query.php?what=allpages http://wiki.lspace.org/query.php?what=allpages even though the equivalent works on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/query.php?what=allpages % How do I convice a MediaWiki that I'm a bot (and thus increase my aplimit)? -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology. We feel that resistance to new ideas and technology is unwise and ultimately futile. _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api
