Hi, is there a way to batch copy certain wikipedia articles(about 10,000) to my own mediawiki site? EDIT: How do I do this without overwriting similarly named articles/pages? Also I don't plan on using illegal means (crawlers etc) ...
Hi, I'm trying to find out if there's a wikipedia api (I Think it is related to the mediawiki?). If so, I would like to know how I would tell wikipedia to give me an article about the new york yankees for example. What would the REST url be for this example? All the docs on this subject seem fairly complicated. ...

Sorry guys, I've been running a mock asking questions on how to integrate wikipedia data into my application and frankly I don't think I've had any success on my end as I've been trying all the ideas and kinda giving up when I read a dead end or obstacle. I'll try to explain what exactly I am trying to do here. I have a simple directory...

Hi guys, I'm parsing wikipedia infoboxes and I noticed that some infoboxes have image fields - these fields hold names of image files stashed on wikipedia somewhere. However they just contain the name of the file as is as opposed to the actual link. I checked the links of the images on real live infoboxes and the links do not seem to b...
I need a way to insert new articles straight into my MediaWiki database without damaging the wiki installation. I'm guessing if I knew what tables/attributes MediaWiki inserts to when creating a new article then I could fill them in myself. Does anyone know a better way or have any suggestions? ...
Wikipedia's Wavelet article contains this text: The discrete wavelet transform is also less computationally complex, taking O(N) time as compared to O(N log N) for the fast Fourier transform. This computational advantage is not inherent to the transform, but reflects the choice of a logarithmic division of frequency, in contrast to t...
I want to use the wikipedia API to find the French pages including the ''Template:Infobox Scientifique'' missing in the english version.

I have already installed ParserFunctions Extension on my MediaWiki CMS. I have tried to look source & copy it, but it didn't work. Thanks. *sorry for my English (it isn...
Wikipedia is geotagging a lot of its articles. (Look in the top right corner of the page.) Is there any API for querying all geotagged pages within a specified radius of a geographical position? Update Okay, so based on lost-theory's answer I tried this (on dbpedia query explorer): PREFIX geo: <http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos...
Is anyone aware of a way to programatically download images from WikiMedia Commons without registering for a Bot account? It seems like the only way to get approval for a Bot account is if it adds to or edits information already on Wikimedia. If you try to download any images, without a bot account, using some of the api libraries out th...
I see there are many php (and other) frameworks for writing wikipedia bots, but isn't captcha a problem? Or bots don't have to solve it (but that sounds like there's no point to having captcha in the first place...)? Or maybe i can make my prog stop and let me fill captcha in? ...

Hello, I have just downloaded the last Wictionary dump from their backup and I would like to display the content of some articles in HTML format. The articles contents come the way they were written: using the wiki syntax, full of internal links, formatting symbols, abreviations and category keywords. Are you aware of any tool I could...
