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 guys,
I'm trying to use the mediawiki API on pt.wikipedia to create a Firefox Add-on to login and read/write to wikipedia
I tried many times and in many wayes to login but I'm not able to do it using my account.
There are any way to login / edit / read data from wikipedia using a normal user/password from a html page + JS from a firefox add-on?
Best regards

Hi,
i'd like to extract paragraph of articles already formatted, so to apply an
accordion on the content.
Is it possible to query the ID of the page like with action=mobileview?
in the same way of action=query&*pageids*=7955 ??
thank you,
Luigi
I'm doing a research work on Wikipedia, thanks to the API, I have got most
of the data I need. But now I'm trying to assess user's reputation, and
thus I need to get the deleted revisions of a user. However, API says I
don't have permission to view deleted revision information.
I really need this data, please help me.
Thanks a lot!
