Hello,
Question: is it possible to display the latest version of a wikipedia.org page in another mediawiki site simply by GET using the API:import? Or is there an easier way?
Yes.
I've already read about xml export/import. But I need the latest version of the page and not have to constantly export from wikipedia manually.
So is it possible to create a URL for each target page so that on the fly pulls the content of a particular wikipedia.org page in the destination site? A 1:1 relationship.
In the past it was generally considered 'Not Nice' (tm) to live mirror wikipedia, although it was somewhat allowed if you had a reasonable cache time to avoid requesting the page every time you had a visitor.
I'm not sure what the current consensus is by the tech team.
