Hi,

Is there a way through the API to list all possible URL that can be used to link to an article ?

For example, a siteinfo request for enwiki[1] gives a few possible URL:

• with server and articlepath, you have URL like

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$1

• with server and script, you have URL like

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=$1

But, is it possible to get all other possible URL ? For example, the URL for the mobile website: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/...

My goal is to detect external links in articles that could be replaced by an internal link or a interwiki link.

Thanks, Nico

Generally no... Lots of it is handled on the webserver level, and MediaWiki doesn't even know.

e.g. Things like https://en.wikipedia.org/?curid=1234 ( [[Acoustic theory]]) work on Wikipedia, but is really determined by how your web server is set up.

And also all sorts of non-standard things, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki.cgi?Foo for backwards compatability with usemodwiki.

You've also got things like

http://en-wp.org/ http://en-wp.com etc

May be helpful to you in terms of other domains.
