I actually have a php scrpt that does just this. There is a list of variables that are needed to make a new page. These are the ones I have, and it works perfectly. This only works for new pages. It will not work for edits as more info is needed. ['wpTextbox1'] = 'info for the page here'; ['wpSummary'] = ""; ['wpSection'] = ""; ['wpEdittime'] = ""; ['wpMinoredit'] = "1"; ['wpSave'] = "Save page"; ['wpEditToken'] = $token; wpEditToken is actually taken from the page in my script. here is more info on it: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Edit_token -Adam On Aug 29, 2007, at 11:28 AM, Johannes Perl wrote: > hi, > > I'm trying to write a programm with java to insert content > automatically > into the wiki. > I set the POST variables and the submit button value and then send > the request to the server.
