Dear everyone,
I am currently working on a research which makes use of wikipedia api
opensearch. However several hours ago the api did not return any result.
I use this url:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=anykeyword
Anybody has any ideas about this problem?
Thanks

Hi All,
I've been working on a simple class for querying wikipedia (and other
media wikis) for KDE. You can see the code at the urls below. We're
planning to use the class to make KDE integrate more tightly with
wikipedia, for example we already have a prototype that integrates it
with a desktop search applet. I've had requests for a few additional
features that I'm not sure how to implement using the API, so I
wondered if anyonee could give me a hint?
1. Request the picture of the day (including both the image and the
descriptive text).
2. Get a snippet of the pages that matched a search query.
3. Search within specific categories.
Anyone able to help?
Thanks
Rich.

I have received I a Forbidden Exception:
API must be accessed through the primary script entry point.
when I try to run the MediaWiki api on several different wikis on one of our servers. The weird thing is that one wiki on the same server works fine. I noticed back in July, 2008 that Alexander Schwarz had the same problem. Someone told him to 'expose' the wiki root directory. I tried that, but it did not work. I am just trying to get api.php to work first without any parameters.
Some server specifications:
Windows server 2003 R2 Service Pack 1
Window XP on the work station.
IIS, php 5.2.8, mysql 5.0.22
I tried to post this question yesterday but I did not see it in my inbox. Sorry if this is a duplicate. This email has more information.
Thanks,

Hi,
I'd like to know which is the filed who defines a disambiguation
link/page/element in the database.
I was looking for it in
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Mediawiki-database-schema.png, but I
couldn`t.
Can anybody help me please?
Regards

Hi all,
I am new learning about MediaWiki. I would like to know if I can get
disambiguation info from a query, I mean, when I receive the results, can I
get only disambiguation information?
Thanks in advance.

In r46823 [1], the rctitles parameter was removed from list=recentchanges. Requests using this parameter were reported to time out on enwiki and take very long on other wikis. The removal of rctitles will go live on the Wikimedia servers shortly, and will appear in the MediaWiki 1.15 release (1.14 will still have rctitles).

As of r46766 [1], the output format used by prop=imageinfo to output
metadata has changed. This change will appear in the MediaWiki 1.14
release (after I backport it, which has yet to be done) as well as go
live on the Wikimedia servers on the next scap.
The old format looked like this:
<metadata version="1" length="110.93466666667">
<streams>
<meta serial="1804289383" group="0" type="Vorbis" vendor="Xiph.Org libVorbis I 20030909" length="110.93466666667" size="1449257">
<header vorbis_version="0" audio_channels="2" audio_sample_rate="48000" bitrate_maximum="0" bitrate_nominal="112001" bitrate_minimum="0" blocksize_0="8" blocksize_1="11" framing_flag="0" />
<comments /dev/dsp="" title="Frédéric Chopin: Walzer Op. 64 No. 1 Des-Dur (Valse minute)" artist="Peter Gerwinski" comment="Licensed under GNU GPL" />
</meta>
</streams>
</metadata>
Note that the <comments /dev/dsp="" ... /> part is invalid XML. This could happen because parts of the metadata is used in the attributes,
which caused lots of bugs.
The new format looks like this:
<metadata>
<metadata name="version" value="1" />
<metadata name="length" value="110.93466666667" />
<metadata name="streams">
<value>
<metadata name="1804289383">
<value>
<metadata name="serial" value="1804289383" />
<metadata name="group" value="0" />
...
</value>
</metadata>
</value>
</metadata>
</metadata>
Note the use of name/value pairs, and note how nesting is done.
