Hi Roan,

thanks a lot for your quick answer. But it seems like i donīt get it working.
When I try this:
http://en.wikinews.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=links&gplnamespace=0&gpllimit=50&export&exportnowrap&titles=UK_government_plans_to_replace_House_of_Lords_with_elected_chamber

it wonīt export any of the links. Where am I wrong?

There is an option to export linked pages to a given depth in
Special:Export, but this is only enabled for privileged users on
Wikipedia right now. You can achieve mostly the same effect using the
API with:

http://en.wikinews.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=links&gplnamespace=0&gpllimit=50&export&exportnowrap&titles=Your_title_here

This'll find the first 50 links on [[Your title here]] pointing to
pages in the main namespace and export them.
