Hi everybody,
i´m trying to export a complete Wikinews article in XML format. I found this feature here: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Special:Export This allows you to extract a page in XML, which is already pretty cool, but: this function doesn´t export the related articles which are shown in the infobox on the right. Any idea how to solve this problem? I didn´t found an appropriate function or parameter in the API (http://en.wikinews.org/w/api.php) Perhaps someone could help me, that would be very nice! :)
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&gplnam...
This'll find the first 50 links on [[Your title here]] pointing to pages in the main namespace and export them.
