Bug #: 42407
Summary: MediaWiki API results
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The Learning Management System Moodle is using the Media Wiki API for searching
Mediawiki Commons content. Users in Moodle systems can use the search to
include sources from Commons into their courses.
During a discussion with Wikipedia Germany we found that the information about
author and licence is not transfered into Moodle after selecting a search
result. The Wikipedia licence defines that author and licence have to be added
if the sources are used anywhere else.
The Moodle developer wrote that the API didn't transfer these data. There is an
entry in the Moodle bug tracker at http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-22756.
The Moodle program code for Wikiemedia Commons repository plugin is available
here: http://git.moodle.org/gw?p=moodle.git;a=tree;f=repository/wikimedia. They
are connecting to http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php
Are there any processes to get these required data or can you expand the API
functions.
Cross posting in Moodle bug tracker will be ok. I will will add an information
at Moodle bug racker aboutthis post.
