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.

Hi Chris,
I think many of us may be having trouble answering this because it's not
quite clear what you're trying to do. Can you be more concrete about what
categories (or what category scheme) you have in mind?
Wikipedia doesn't have a single, overarching hierarchy of categories. A
page may be associated with any number of categories (including zero).
Some of these categories may be subcategories of other categories. Editors
may freely create and remove categories, and add and remove page
associations with these categories.
The REST API currently doesn't expose any category information, but you can
obtain category information through follow up requests to the Action API (
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php). For example:
To get all categories associated with the page "Marfa, Texas" on English
Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=categories&titles=Marf…
To get all pages associated with the category "Category:Cities in Presidio
County, Texas":
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=categorymembers&cmtitl…
Best,
Michael

Hi Team,
I am stuck while Implementing the AutoLogin. Any help would be great.
I am using MediaWiki for my purpose. I have a website and would like to give the MediaWiki URL When a user clicks the links of MediaWiki It should redirect with MediaWiki URL with AutoLogin.
Currently, I have setup in my localhost.I am using login API for this and able to create a new user in MediaWiki. So when I am using the API for login I am able to get login success response from API. but when it redirects to MediaWiki localhost links I can't see the logged in user.
Below Environment I am using for development:
Media wiki version: 1.26System: Ubuntu14.04Server: Apache2Language: PHP/MySQL.
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Thank you,Sudhir Gupta.
Previously, if none of the values supplied for the pltitles, tltemplates,
clcategories, or imimages parameters to prop=links, prop=templates,
prop=categories, or prop=images were valid titles, the parameter would be
ignored and all links, templates, categories, or images would be returned.
With the merge of Gerrit change 347879,[1] this situation will result in no
links, templates, categories, or images being returned, as none match the
invalid titles supplied.
Note that submitting an empty value for one of these parameters will
continue to ignore the parameter and return all links, templates,
categories, or images, since this seems to be relatively common practice.
