PageImages extension does not work
by Ewa Szwed 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Hi, I have a question on the PageImages MediaWiki extension. I have installed it on my instanse of MediaWiki apache. It looks like it is working because with the following hit: api.php?action=query&prop=pageimages&format=xml&pithumbsize=500&pilimit=10&titles=Paris|Lille|Rennes I am seeing the following response: <api> <query> <pages> <page pageid="50116" ns="0" title="Lille"/> <page pageid="22989" ns="0" title="Paris"/> <page pageid="46132" ns="0" title="Rennes"/> </pages> </query> </api> I am not able to see any images info in the response, was expecting to see something similar to: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=pageimages&format=xml&p… In mysql wikipedia DB I have populated *image* and *imagelinks* table using dumps from wikipedia. I am assuming that this extension uses data from *page_images* table which is empty on my instance. How to populate this data (where to get the dump from?). I would appreciate any answer.

LinqToWiki: new library for accessing the API from .Net
by Petr Onderka 17 Feb '13

17 Feb '13

I'd like to introduce LinqToWiki: a new library for accessing the MediaWiki API from .Net languages (e.g. C#). Its main advantage is that it knows the API and is strongly-typed, which means autocompletion works on API modules, module parameters and result properties and correctness is checked at compile time. More information is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Svick/LinqToWiki. Any comments are welcome. Petr Onderka [[en:User:Svick]]

[Mediawiki-api-announce] Breaking backend changes to ApiPageSet, ApiQuery, ApiQueryGeneratorBase
by Brad Jorsch 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

In change I7a3d7b6e[1] which was recently merged, the ApiPageSet module received a major overhaul. In particular, the parameters to the constructor have changed, and it now extends ApiBase rather than ApiQueryBase. These changes will not affect API clients, but any third-party API modules that use ApiPageSet will need to be updated. Also as part of this change, ApiQuery is losing its newGenerator() and executeGeneratorModule() methods, and ApiQueryGeneratorBase's setGeneratorMode() is gaining a required parameter. These methods are unlikely to have been used in non-core code. This brings with it enhanced functionality: non-query actions using ApiPageSet may now use generators. The core action=purge and action=setnotificationtimestamp modules have already been enhanced in this way. This change should go live on WMF wikis with 1.21wmf10; see the roadmap for details.[2] [1]: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/44087/ [2]: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.21/Roadmap -- Brad Jorsch Software Engineer Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api-announce mailing list Mediawiki-api-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api-announce

Unexpected token with JSON result
by Brendan Taylor 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

Sorry if this question has already been asked and answered. There doesn't seem to be a way to search the archives. I'm using action=parse, format=json, and the result creates a JavaScript JSON object. The HTML I wish to use is in result.parse.text.*, and the problem is JavaScript detects a syntax error because of the property named "*". How can I work around this? Thanks, Brendan

Re: [Mediawiki-api] Question about sorting results from full text search
by Edward Luo 01 Feb '13

Hi, I use list=search (sr) to perform a full text search. About the results: What is the default score used for ranking? Can I sort the results based on specific score? If yes, any documentation about this? Thank you in advance. Edward
