There are lots of different libraries for writing scripts that interact with
mediawiki, checkout
a list.
It would be fairly easy to write a script to create pages from a
database/xml/text files etc

Hi!
I'm new to this list (and have not yet found a way to search the
archives), so maybe this topic has been discussed to death before. If so,
I'd appreciate a hint (when, subject, etc. so I can download the proper
month from the archives) and ask to accept my apologies..
I'm working on a project where there are a lot of (generated) pages on one
side and a mediawiki 1.5.1 on the other side. The administrator of the
wiki is a bit overly careful, so I cannot use the import functionality
(which works without a problem on my test-wiki at home). Nonetheless, I've
about 2500 wiki pages to upload... "Open page - copy from editor - paste
into firefox - save - open next page - etc.pp." was hard enough for the
test pages until everything worked like a charm, but by now all the
converting and generating is just a "make all" and a few minutes of
runtime - and uploading would be weeks...
Is there a (linux command line) tool out there which accepts a filename
with wiki content, a wiki address and page name, a username and password
(or cookie file path) and uploads the file's contents to the wiki?
Alternatively, is it possible to achieve this somehow with wget?
Programming & shell skills are available.
I found a bunch of media uploaders, but this is just about uploading
normal pages, not about uploading media - there are some pictures in the
project, but they can be handled manually, as they are few.
Yours,
Christian Treczoks
