Re: [Mediawiki-api] Localized (translated) version of sections

Thanks, Brad and Gergo, now I see that there's no direct way to do this reliably. In the past I needed something similar when translating the root category Content to an arbitrary language. I found a workaround, when the titles were retrieved by scanning the Language section of Category:Contents

[Mediawiki-api] parse feature inconsistency

Hi, Trying to find a way to extract links from a wikipedia see also section, noticed a stackoverflow answer ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37396367/how-to-extract-links-from-see-also-section-of-an-article-in-wikipedia ), suggesting parsing sections first and then parsing "see also"

[Mediawiki-api] Old Rendering or new approach

Hi, Wikipedia now renders with new design, so my previous tool relied on obtaining the text just by downloading it and applying an XPath, have to adjust to it. I have mixed results so the questions are: - Is there a plan to support the old design with some additional parameters? Even if not
