Hello,

Question: is it possible to display the latest version of a
wikipedia.orgpage in another mediawiki site simply by GET using the
API:import <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Import>? Or is there an
easier way?

More info:

I am building my first wiki using Mediawiki 1.17 @ http://fa.irfanpedia.org I
am total mediawiki newbie.

The site will contain original research about Irfan, a form of Gnosticism,
similar to sufism.

As a convenience to users, I would like to display the latest content on
Wikipedia about the subject. The exact pages have already been identified.

I've already read about xml export/import. But I need the latest version of
the page and not have to constantly export from wikipedia manually.

So is it possible to create a URL for each target page so that on the fly
pulls the content of a particular wikipedia.org page in the destination
site? A 1:1 relationship.

If so, is this mailing list the right place to ask for technical help? the
process for obtaining a token - I can't figure it out. Or not sure if the
xml produced by the action=import can be immediately displayed to user or
it still has to go through another step before it is human-readable.

Thank you in advance.
