A good place to look for a simple example is the
maintenance/InitialiseMessages.inc include file, which contains a
chunk that shows how to create/edit pages in a programmatic fashion.

I would like to be able to create wiki pages by just
calling a function to
which I pass the name of the new page and the text which I want on the page.
I have managed a solution where I just hack directly into the tables
(bypassing all the mediawiki code), but started to hit code translation type
problems, so I think it is best to do it building on all the wisdom already
built into the mediawiki code.
The sort of "createPage()" function which I have so far got, but which does
not work, is as follows:
/**
* Pass the name of the new page and the content and create the page
*/
function createPage($wikiPageName, $pageText) {
$title = new Title();
$title = $title->newFromText($wikiPageName);
$article = new Article($title);
$article->insertNewArticle($pageText, "No summary", false, false);
}
Anybody done this before? Any ideas what I need to do specifically to get
this working?
I have tried to trace through what the "index.php" file does when creating a
page, but it's not easy to follow particularly because of the way in which
the parameters are often implicit (e.g. via POST of form data).
Thanks for any help!
