Hello, I'm looking for the the best way to dump
the information in a locally
installed Media Wiki so it can be subsequently parsed and then displayed in
a network visualization program. For an example of this kind of
visualization program please see the attached file, click here:
http://www.centennial-software.com/_gfx/screenshots/discovery_visual_map.jpg
or perform a google search for "network visualization"
This will show how each page is related and allow curators to keep an eye on
how the wiki is growing. I can write a parsing program myself and
visualization programs are freely available on the web. I'm simply
wondering what is the best way to dump everything into a static file.
Sounds like you want to dump a list of link relationships. You can pull
a full list fairly simply:
SELECT page_namespace,page_title, pl_namespace,pl_title
FROM page,pagelinks
WHERE page_id=pl_from;
(That'd include the numeric namepspace IDs; transform them to text
appropriately if you're doing a full list of titles.)
