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

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 all,
I'm working on a webservice that use the Mediawiki API and I'd like to have some stats about the traffic of my api calls to the commons.wikipedia.org domain.
In particular, I'd like to have the number of GET Requests by Api-User-Agent, the number of views/edit by Api-User-Agent and the stats of the Wikipedia traffic from inbound links by a specif domain or url.
Is this possible somehow?
Thank you in advance,
Kind regards,
Viviana
The Wikimedia REST API's /page/summary response contains content_urls and
api_urls keys that provide convenience lists of various URLs of potential
interest to the consumer. These lists appear in other endpoint responses
as well, as the page summary response is transcluded in various places
throughout the REST API.
Currently, these URL strings are constructed erroneously using unencoded
page title strings. A proposed patch (
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/services/mobileapps/+/489329/)
applies encodeURIComponent to encode these before including them in URLs.
Since this endpoint is advertised as stable[1], I'm announcing the change
here in advance. Barring any objections, the change will be deployed late
next week.
