nonexistent pages in category lists
by Karl Ostmo 10 Oct '09

The following query: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allcategories&acpr… yields a list that contains "Reptil", "Reptile", and "Reptiles". I've developed a clientside solution for testing for and traversing the "soft" category redirects that may show up in the category listing (e.g. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Reptiles). However, the pages "Reptil" and "Reptile" do not even exist. It is problematic when these entries are presented to the user in the form of "autocomplete" search suggestions; if the user selects one of these entries, I could do a test for page existance, but a failed test is disruptive as it forces the user to make another choice, leaving them to wonder why it was offered in the first place. My current project is making a free game for Android that has users categorize the images here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Media_needing_categories Karl

Hi, I'm needing to get how many times one article have been voted (not only the average of votes as the 'wkvoteart' does). Is there any way to get this information using the mediawiki api? Thanks, Daniel Hasan Dalip Researcher Federal University of Minas Gerais - Brazil
