Thank you, Bartozh. It took a couple of days, but I wrote the code, and debugged almost all of it. The only part I couldn't debug is $site = $siteLookup->getSite( $wikiId ); $langCode = $site->getLanguageCode(); because $siteLookup->getSites of Patch Demo returns an empty array. All the rest works fine. Thank you for your help again. Igal
