Hello,
I am writing a Java program to extract the abstract of the wikipedia page
given the title of the wikipedia page. I have done some research and found
out that the abstract with be in rvsection=0
So for example if I want the abstract of 'Eiffel Tower" wiki page then I am
querying using the api in the following way.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&titles=Eiffel…
and parse the XML data which we get and take the wikitext in the tag <rev
xml:space="preserve"> which represents the abstract of the wikipedia page.
But this wiki text also contains the infobox data which I do not need. I
would like to know if there is anyway in which I can remove the infobox data
and get only the wikitext related to the page's abstract Or if there is any
alternative method by which I can get the abstract of the page directly.
Looking forward to your help.
Thanks in Advance
Aditya Uppu
When list=allusers is used with auactiveusers, a property 'recenteditcount'
is returned in the result. In bug 67301[1] it was pointed out that this
property is including various other logged actions, and so should really be
named something like "recentactions".
Gerrit change 130093,[2] merged today, adds the "recentactions" result
property. "recenteditcount" is also returned for backwards compatability,
but will be removed at some point during the MediaWiki 1.25 development
cycle.
Any clients using this property should be updated to use the new property
name. The new property will be available on WMF wikis with 1.24wmf12, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.24/Roadmap for the schedule.

Hello,
This bug <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T87645> is more serious than it
seems and it's blocked a huge part of our actions (e.g. creating pages
outside of main namespace via API)
Please someone take a look at this

Hi,
Is there a way to get the description of the wiki page with everything
"BEFORE" the "References" section?
For example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs I would need in the
wiki page "BEFORE" the below "References" section.

And in fact that already exists ;-) See for example

Hi mediawiki-api,
Recently we encounter some recent changes like:
*http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&continue=-%7C%7C&rccontinue=20150104205209%7C147307576&list=recentchanges&rclimit=1&rcprop=comment%7Cflags%7Cids%7Cloginfo%7Csizes%7Ctimestamp%7Ctitle%7Cuser
<http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&continue=-%7C%7C&rccont…>*
I am wondering why the page id is 0.
Thanks
Lin Jin
I’ve recently seen that merging pages does not require the usual
(delete, move, undelete, move) sequence anymore, as evidenced by
new Special:Log/merge log entries. What is the API request I
use to perform such merges?
Somehow, neither https://mediawiki.org/w/api.php, nor the API
documentation seem to mention anything like that.
TIA.
