Hi all, please, do you know if there's a robot for uploading multiple pages? That is to say, a user at LMO.WP has made up a text file (not .csv) with the appropriate wiki-code for each page, and a marker for the beginning of each page: can they by uploaded by a single operation? Many thanks. Bests, Claudi

take a look at the pywikipedia framework, I think there's an uploadbot in there.

the commons guys have a tool "commonist". it supports batch uploading, but i am not sure if it supports other wikis than commons.

Oy, people, he's looking for a tool that will upload pages (not uploading but importing). Reformat into MediaWiki's XML format and then use [[Special:Import]].

He's also looking for a solution that will work on Wikimedia wikis, and Special:Import isn't enabled for that on those.
If we're talking about a huge number of pages, I see two real options.
1. Use a modified version of one of the various bots around to perform the edits. 2. Have someone write a (safe and working) script that can read the file we've got and perform page insertions to MediaWiki direct, then ask a user with shell access to assist in performing the import operation.
Given the current claimed workload of our shell users, option one might be quicker.
