Hi again,

Thanks to Anirudh for giving me the help-needed template. One wikipedian has reached out and helped:

Hi Nikhilsheth - I've created this tool for you at [1]. Leave a message on my talk page if you want any changes. Dcoetzee 05:53, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Link to tool: http://toolserver.org/~dcoetzee/permalinks/

It does the basic job, but now I'm getting greedy for more ;)
AshLin, amazing work over the last week on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AshLin/Work_list ! Now, do we need a specific format in which to have the revision numbers? You've created tables on the worklist, so is that the way forward? Then we can ask Dcoetzee to parse the output in a way we need to.

And I feel that there should be a full-fledged project (worldwide, not just pertaining to indian articles) going on for Wikipedia for Schools, with a well-structured list of ALL articles that are going in. Not being able to find anything. Can anyone help in how to go about getting one set up?

Greetings All,

Does anybody know how to extract the permalink of the latest revision of a wikipedia article - FAST and in bulk?

Request for a tool to any developers out there: Please create a tool such that if I input a list of titles (all of which are wikipedia articles) - separated by comma or line whatever you wish, it returns a list of permalinks of all the articles!

Example: If input is: Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam

Then the output should be:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andhra_Pradesh&oldid=421762178, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arunachal_Pradesh&oldid=421047209, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assam&oldid=421372952

Or maybe just:

Andhra Pradesh 421762178, Arunachal Pradesh 421047209, Assam 421372952

Or something of the sort!

We need this for article selection for offline wikipedia for schools project! Thanks in advance! Nikhilsheth (talk)

Hello friends,

Article selection for Wikipedia for Schools (Offline Ed) - Indian
version has begun. I have started selecting articles. I chose
Geography as a relatively uncontroversial topic to begin with. The
first items added were the states & union territories -
uncontroversial, just added them all. The next I have selected are
Indian cities.

Any that you feel should be removed/added? Your thoughts on this issue?

Warm regards,
