[04:21:55] Hello everybody, I have a question and I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me: [04:21:55] I'm trying to pull some data, for multiple pages on Wikipedia, using the API, preferably in XML. [04:21:55] So far, I've only found two ways to do that: [04:21:56] 1. Make multiple requests like this: /w/api.php?action=parse&format=json&prop=parsetree&redirects=1&page=usa [04:21:56] 2. Make one like this: /w/api.php?action=query&format=json&rvprop=parsetree&redirects=1&prop=revisions&titles=usa|germany [04:21:57] The first one I'd like to avoid, since it would involve multiple requests, the second one says the rvprop=parsetree parameter has been deprecated. [04:22:00] So I wanted to ask, is there's a better way to do this? [04:44:48] Hi Alex811. [04:45:03] Both your api.php examples specify &format=json, but you want XML? [04:45:50] Yeah, what I'm doing right now is, I go to the parsetree, grab the data and parse it as xml [04:51:35] What are you trying to do? [04:53:49] My project has to do with getting some of the data in the Infobox of the pages for the countries the user specifies, I'll probably change the format parameter to xml anyway, but what I want is just to be able to get the parsed version of multiple pages (I couldn't get the 1st example to parse more than one page) [04:55:51] I tried a pipe character, but it didn't work. [06:34:41] Alright, I believe I thought of a different way to do what I want, that would solve my issue without changing the number of API requests. Thanks for trying to help anyway, have a good one! [06:48:24] Alex811: Have you looked into getting data from Wikidata? [06:51:51] I have not, I'll take a look in a sec. [07:15:07] I can definitely see why you pointed me towards it, but I don't think I can use it for what I'm doing, thanks anyway though. [10:33:52] Does anyone know how to migrate MediaWiki from SQLite to MySQL? [10:49:40] Naming question: There is Personal Tools (Talk, Preferences, Wtchlist, etc.) and Page Tools (Page, Discussion, Edit, etc.). What is the common/correct/most used name for the group of tools containing What links here, Related changes, Upload file, Special pages, etc.? [11:22:15] FoxT: in timeless skin, 'what links here' etc are page tools [11:31:20] Sveta: Thx. I found that the function respective in BaseTemplate is getToolbox(), so I think I'll go with Toolbox. [11:31:48] FoxT: ooh ok [12:40:17] How do I whitelist entries that wikipedia standard blacklist for SpamFilter identifies as spam and stops saving the page? Thanks in advance [12:41:05] I need to rollback some vandalism via editing the last known good version and I get message that spamfilter matches [12:49:13] Got it sorted.. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist is the place [17:11:44] CPTDB Wiki [17:19:27] Hi. [17:21:24] Does anyone know what extension I need to use for show mediawiki logo and message "The Simple English Wikipedia has an article on:" like inthis page? https://simple.wiktionary.org/wiki/encyclopedia [17:21:27] thank you [17:25:12] Please... [17:25:16] Does anyone know what extension I need to use for show mediawiki logo and message "The Simple English Wikipedia has an article on:" like inthis page? https://simple.wiktionary.org/wiki/encyclopedia [20:24:22] it's just a template...
