Return parsed wikitext without [edit] links
by Jim Safley 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

I'm looking for a way to return parsed wikitext without [edit] links or any other text that mediawiki returns only while logged in. In other words, I want action=parse to return parsed wikitext as if a logged in user was not logged in. Is this possible? Thanks, Jim

Parsing into printable text ?
by Nicolas Vervelle 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Hi, Is there a way to parse a wiki text to get a simplified text (without HTML, external and internal replaced by their text, ...) ? My need is the following : - The project Check Wikipedia<http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Stefan_K%C3%BChn/Check_Wikipedia>uses a configuration file for each wiki (for example: en <http://toolserver.org/%7Esk/checkwiki/enwiki/enwiki_translation.txt>) - It's used among other things to generate pages in Wiki format (for example: en<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Check_Wikipedia> ) - In the configuration file, you can see for example a description of error n°1: *error_001_desc_script=This article has no bold title like <nowiki>'''Title'''</nowiki>*, so it contains Wiki text. - I am writing a Java program (WikiCleaner<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:NicoV/Wikipedia_Cleaner/Documentation>) to help fixing the errors reported by this tool. I'd like to display this text in my program as a simple text: *This article has no bold title like '''Title'''.* Thanks, Nico

Pagedeleted error
by Nicolas Vervelle 04 Apr '10

04 Apr '10

Hi, It seems that there's a bug with some pages that have been deleted and restaured after that, but without any more modification. For example, on the French wiki, I get the error when trying to edit fr:Charbonnage<http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charbonnage>. The page exists, its last version was one 2010-03-11 at 12:37:19, but it was deleted and recreated later this day (at 17:45). Request made: http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?summary=[[:fr:Utilisateur:NicoV/Wikipedia… 0.99 - Correction des [[Projet:Liens vers les pages d'homonymie|liens vers les pages d'homonymie]]&title=Charbonnage&text=[[Image:Drilling of blastholes with air drill.png||thumb|upright 1.5]]...&basetimestamp=2010-03-11T12:37:19Z&token=xxxxxx+\&minor=&bot=&action=edit&format=xml Error reported: pagedeleted - The page has been deleted since you fetched its timestamp Nico

Getting the pageid of a deleted page ?
by Nicolas Vervelle 04 Apr '10

04 Apr '10

Hi, I'd like to obtain the pageid of a page, even if the page has been deleted. Requests like this one<http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?rvprop=content%7Cids%7Ctimestamp&prop=rev…>return the pageid only if the page is still existing. I have written a tool, WikiCleaner<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:NicoV/Wikipedia_Cleaner/Documentation>, that can, among other things, help for the Check Wikipedia Project<http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Stefan_K%C3%BChn/Check_Wikipedia> . When an error is fixed, my tool calls an URL to notify the fix has been done (see the Done button on this page<http://toolserver.org/%7Esk/cgi-bin/checkwiki/checkwiki.cgi?project=enwiki&…> ). In the URL, there's a parameter required for the pageid. When the page has been deleted since the error was detected, I'd like to automatically notify the fix has been done, but I can't get the pageid from the API. Nico
