Blacklisted?
by Robert Crowe 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

It looks to me like I was blacklisted for EN Wikipedia API requests. My website has been using the API for awhile now, but suddenly I'm getting 403 errors coming back. I've tried to follow all the rules, but if I've missed something I'm happy to make changes. What disturbs me most is that there was no attempt to contact me before being blacklisted to let me know there was a problem. Where should I go to find out what the problem is? Thanks, Robert

request for help: JS userscript that uses MW edit API
by Sumana Harihareswara 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#The_Wikipe… Jake (User:Ocaasi) needs some help and has written up a spec -- I include part of it here: Background: The Wikipedia Adventure (TWA) is an onboarding game--a guided tour to teach new editors how to contribute to Wikipedia. In the game players are invited to help out at a hypothetical article (Earth), and along the way they learn skills while interacting with simulated peers. Goal: Make TWA players feel like they are actually receiving messages from other editors, when in fact they are just sending messages to themselves. Method: Use the Mediawiki Edit API. Have a button (or a link) on a Wikipedia subpage of Wikipedia:TWA/ use the API to add target text to a target page. Because different messages are received at different points in the game, the ability to customize the target text and target page is critical. Implementation: Build a JavaScript userscript stored in the user’s common.js page. The beta-version of the game will later deliver this script as a gadget (set in user preferences, turned on by default, and only active from the Wikipedia:TWA/ subspace). There's more at the Village Pump page. Anyone have a little time to help? -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation

Hi, With the new extension, Disambiguator [1], I was wondering how to retrieve the list of all disambiguation pages in a wiki. Is there a way to retrieve the list of pages having the disambiguation property set ? Nico [1] http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-July/070277.html

nearby API coordinates
by Luigi Assom 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Hi, wiki exposes the nearby search of articles: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby I now you can use prop=coordinates to expose the coordinates of one article. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=coordinates&titles=New%… Is there any api to expose the nearby service for fetching articles close to one's coordinate? How to do the nearby above? -- Luigi Assom Skype contact: oggigigi

action=parse&mobileformat=wml support deprecated
by Max Semenik 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Starting on July, 2 we will drop support for action=parse returning WML content. WAP is a rotting corpse for many years already. Note that we're retaining support for mobileformat=html however it will eventually become a no-op as we're planning to deprecate as many HTML transformations for mobile as possible. -- Best regards, Max Semenik ([[User:MaxSem]])

search alike wikipedia
by Luigi Assom 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

Hi All, so, I'd like to: 1) set up a search system backend alike wikipedia either 2) use the result of wiki search api but redirect them to our db We set up a system in Solr, wiki is in Lucene. I would like the results to be shown while typing are the same of wikipedia: I guess wikipedia search criteria is to search for exact matches of words within titles. Is it correct? Or does it search also on free text? What happen if I have a title which is different from title page ? (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiappucci but title of page is "Claudio Chiappucci" ) Basically I want to have the same results as in the wiki search fields (which priorities the searches, e.g. "C" result for "Canada, "Countries of the world", etc.) Any criteria guideline on how to achieve this in Solr, and to obtain responsive results as in wiki? The second option would be to redirect the search of wiki to our db, but i personally don't like this cause it sound convoluted. thank you very very much. -- Luigi Assom Skype contact: oggigigi
