If your script is in php and inside MediaWiki, you can just do $a = new Article(Title::newFromText('computers:foo')); $a->doEdit([text here]);
Otherwise try the bot.

Thanks, but I dont think that I need so much because the text is pure text without any markups or links. What I want to do in detail:
Create a article like computers:foo. That will be done by hand. After that The script should only add some text like:
Compuertname: foo Blablabla: bar etc....
Thats all. So maybe there is a way to do that?
greetings mario

Hi, I dont know if this is the right place to ask. So please point me in the right direction if not.
Is it possible to update an article via an sql-statement? What I want to do:
I have a script wich collects texts from other sources: e.g. /proc/cpuinfo or texts from external websites. And I have an article named: computername Now I want to update the article "computername" with the text from a local file via SQL in a bash script (or a php script...).
Is it possible? Or are there some solutions for this problem?
It would be possible, but it would be a pain, you'd have to have major parts of MediaWiki application logic in your code. You have to take care of MediaWiki's caches, the link tables, recentchanges, etc.
You should use a bot to interact with the wiki, e.g. pywikipediabot http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywikipediabot/
