I have a media wiki system handled by my IT department. I only has the admin authority to edit the pages via browser. Since the most updated part of the site are structured data, such as publications, I'd like to edit it locally and update the created text file to the edit area on the browser and update the wiki in this remote way. However, I have not found a way or a tool to access the text area edit function via URL. Is it even possible to do that?
The API should do exactly what you want; see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API for an introduction, and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit for specific information concerning page creation/editing.
HTH!
Thanks very much. I will dig more on that.
