Minimum and Maximum pageid
by practikal mind 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

Hi, I had taken a back up of the Wikipedia data and have a range / set of pageids. How do I find out the range of pageids that are currently in use in wikipedia? Do pageids always remain constant? Can a certain pageid cease to exist? Please let me know thanks

Hi, The Description field seems to have gone missing very recently (in the past day or days) from the api.php Opensearch results. Is this expected? Thanks, Robert

API
by Gruszta Serkowicz 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

Guten Tag, bin schon seit mehreren Tagen am probieren die API richtig anzusprechen aber ich kann einfach nicht die richtige Kombination finden. Ich möchte lediglich den ersten Abschnitt des Wiki Artikels in Klartext extrahieren. Komme allerdings nur auf folgende Lösungen die eine Mischung aus Wiki-Zeugs und HTML ist: "Polen (polnisch Polska [ˈpɔlska] Anhören?/i, amtlich Rzeczpospolita Polska, [ʐɛʈ͡ʂpɔsˈpɔlita ˈpɔlska]?/i, deutsch Republik Polen) ist eine parlamentarische Republik in Mitteleuropa. [...]" https://de.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=xml&prop=extracts&ex… brauche aber lediglich: "Polen (polnisch Polska [ˈpɔlska], amtlich Rzeczpospolita Polska, [ʐɛʈ͡ʂpɔsˈpɔlita ˈpɔlska], deutsch Republik Polen) ist eine parlamentarische Republik in Mitteleuropa. [...]" Hab es versucht mit replaces und anderen Befehlen zu bereinigen aber so richtig professionell ist das ja auch nicht. Gibts noch eine andere Möglichkeit? Beste Grüße Bahlox mediawiki-api(a)lists.wikimedia.org

Sperta- Nunez.jpg" rcid=" 114549183" pageid="0" revid="0" old_revid="0" user="Azarel63"oldlen="0" newlen="0" timestamp="2014-01-05T11:09:38Z" comment="User created page with UploadWizard" logid="77242320" logtype="upload"logaction="upload" img_sha1=" sf9t03wg27tl73nnde3jzfuxncefux9" img_timestamp="2014-01-05T11:09:36Z"/> <rc type="log" ns="6" title="File:Gingerbread spices (annotated).jpg" rcid=" 114549185" pageid="30485540" revid="0" old_revid="0"user="SKopp" oldlen="0" newlen="0" timestamp="2014-01-05T11:09:37Z" comment="User created page with UploadWizard" logid="77242318"logtype="upload" logaction="upload" img_sha1=" q84abqjr2n4bmn7o6j4uovpl5ufs2gq" img_timestamp="2014-01-05T11:09:37Z"/> The first one has no page id but the second one has. Does anybody can tell me the differences? Thanks, Ethan Liu

[Mediawiki-api-announce] User agents for gadgets and user scripts
by Brad Jorsch (Anomie) 01 Dec '14

01 Dec '14

With Gerrit change 174200,[1] an HTTP header "Api-User-Agent" header will be recognized for logging from the API. This should benefit clients using XMLHttpRequest where the normal User-Agent header is locked down by the browser. The logged agent will be the concatenation of Api-User-Agent and the browser's User-Agent header. This should come in handy once the ApiFeatureUsage extension[2][3] is reviewed and deployed. The new header will be recognized starting with 1.25wmf10, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.25/Roadmap for the schedule. It will be ignored for wikis still on 1.25wmf8 or 1.25wmf9, so feel free to upgrade any scripts immediately. Bots and other clients that have full control over the User-Agent header should continue to use that header exclusively.
