WikiProxy is great, Daniel! Thanks for making such a robust interface
for accessing text :-)
I have one question: is it possible to access the data WikiProxy
holds without using HTTP? (For example, using PHP's CLI SAPI or
direct inclusion of the WikiProxy library). You mention that you're
concerned about PHP startup times, and I guess the latter method
would alleviate that to some extent.
Thanks,

To use WikiProxy, you can go to
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~daniel/WikiSense/WikiProxy.php and fill
in the form.
This will only work from the toolserver, though - for access from
the outside,
you need an access token, available on request.
To use it programmatically, use a URL like the following:
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~daniel/WikiSense/WikiProxy.php?
wiki=de.wikipedia.org&title=SomePage
additional parameters:
* rev=12345 if you want a specific revision
* ns=5 if title is an un-prefixed page name (you can also use
canonical or local
namespace names)
The wiki parameter accepts names like "de", "dewiki", or
"de.wikipedia.org".
Please try it and tell me if you experience any problems.
Enjoy,
Daniel
