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

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.
