by misaka83＠hush.com 13 Dec '14

13 Dec '14

Hello everyone, how can I extract just clean plain text from a Wikipedia article? Without wiki-stuff, without html, without pictures, without json. Just clean text. I can't seem to find this exact solution. Best regards Mikoto

11 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 09 Dec '14

09 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

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.

BREAKING CHANGE: Some API formats will be removed completely
by Max Semenik 13 Nov '14

13 Nov '14

Per architecture review[1], several API output formats will be removed from MediaWiki: * wddx and dump - in 6 months (around May 12, 2015) * yaml, txt and dbg - in 1 year (around November 12, 2015) They are already deprecated which means that every request made with them receives a warning about deprecation. So on aforementioned dates, these formats will be gone from WMF sites and the removals will be part of next MediaWiki releases (presumably, 1.26 and 1.27). After that, only 3 formats will be left: json, xml and php. Ideally, we would really love to have only json, but currently there are no plans of doing it any time soon. == Migration guide == The preferred format for using with MediaWiki API is JSON. The easiest way to migrate would be: * "YAML" as used by the API has actually been JSON for years, so just replace format=yaml with format=json and make sure that your code does not barf at content-type set to application/json instead of application/yaml. * WDDX is a type-aware format so the logical transition would be JSON. * dump and txt were are "serialising" using the PHP functions that were never supposed to return anything machine-readable; and while format=dbg is kinda machine-readable, passing its output to PHP's exec() is not the way of machine-readability any security-aware person would want :) For any of these formats, just sticking with JSON would make your life much, much easier. However, if you're relying on specifics of exported PHP state in your PHP-based client, format=php might make sense for a quick switch. ---- [1] https://tools.wmflabs.org/meetbot/wikimedia-office/2014/wikimedia-office.20… -- Best regards, Max Semenik ([[User:MaxSem]])

[Mediawiki-api-announce] Breaking change in generator=search
by Brad Jorsch (Anomie) 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Bug 73321[1] pointed out that generator=search was incorrectly trying to set the same "searchinfo" and other properties on the result that were set by list=search. Gerrit change 172794[2] removes this setting, so generator=search will no longer provide 'searchinfo' or 'interwikisearchinfo' members in the result. Interwiki titles from the generator will no longer populate an 'interwikisearch' result property, but will instead be included in the generated titles and thus (for action=query) will populate the 'interwiki' property. This change should be deployed to WMF wikis with 1.25wmf9, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.25/Roadmap for the schedule.
