Github

Installation

git clone https://github.com/WolfgangFahl/py-3rdparty-mediawiki
./install

wikipush / wikiedit / wiknuke / wikiuser scripts

This script is in the scripts directory. It should be linked with three names 

ln wikipush wikiuser
ln wikipush wikinuke
ln wikipush wikiedit

and be added to your path e.g by doing a symbolic link 

cd $HOME/bin
ln -s $HOME/Documents/pyworkspace/py-3rdparty-mediawiki/scripts/wikipush .
ln -s $HOME/Documents/pyworkspace/py-3rdparty-mediawiki/scripts/wikiuser .
ln -s $HOME/Documents/pyworkspace/py-3rdparty-mediawiki/scripts/wikinuke .
ln -s $HOME/Documents/pyworkspace/py-3rdparty-mediawiki/scripts/wikiedit .

#!/bin/bash
# WF 2020-10-31
# wrapper for wikipush python
script=$(python -c "import os;import sys;print (os.path.realpath(sys.argv[1]))" $BASH_SOURCE)
scriptname=$(basename $script)
scriptdir=$(dirname $script)
base=$scriptdir/..
export PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:$base"
case $scriptname in
   "wikipush")
	python -m wikibot.wikipush "$@"
	;;
   "wikiedit")
   	python -m wikibot.wikiedit "$@"
   	;;

	;;
   "wikinuke")
   	python -m wikibot.wikinuke "$@"
   	;;
   *)
	echo "undefined wikipush script behavior:  $scriptname"
	;;

WikiPush

WikiPush allows to copy pages from one wiki to another including the images on the page. To identify yourself you use the credential property files created with the wikiuser script (using python) or the Mediawiki-Japi CommandLine

usage

wikipush -h
family and mylang are not set.
Defaulting to family='test' and mylang='test'.
usage: wikipush.py [-h] [-d] [-V] [-l] [-f] [-i] [-q QUERY] -s SOURCE -t
                   TARGET [-p PAGES [PAGES ...]]

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d, --debug           set debug level [default: None]
  -V, --version         show program's version number and exit
  -f, --force           force to delete pages - default is 'dry' run only listing pages
  -q QUERY, --query QUERY
                        select pages with given SMW ask query
  -qf QUERYFIELD, --queryField QUERYFIELD
                        query result field which contains page

  -p PAGES [PAGES ...], --pages PAGES [PAGES ...]
                        list of page Titles to be pushed

Example

The default behavior is a dry run only listing whether the pages exist 

deleting 3 pages in test (dry run)
1/3 (  33%): deleting deleteMe1 ...👍
2/3 (  67%): deleting deleteMe2 ...👍
3/3 ( 100%): deleting deleteMe3 ...👍

After checking you might want to (carefully) use the "-f" option to actually force the deletion: 

wikinuke -t test -p deleteMe1 deleteMe2 deleteMe3 -f
deleting 3 pages in test (forced)
1/3 (  33%): deleting deleteMe1 ...✅
2/3 (  67%): deleting deleteMe2 ...✅
3/3 ( 100%): deleting deleteMe3 ...✅

WikiUser

wikiuser.py creates credential files and assigns a WikiId under which you can now operate. This simplifies access to your wiki. The credential file is compatible to the Java Mediawiki-Japi see CommandLine#Credential_mode

usage

wikiuser -h
usage: wikiuser.py [-h] [-d] [-V] [-e EMAIL] [-f FILEPATH] [-l URL]
                   [-s SCRIPTPATH] [-p PASSWORD] [-u USER] [-v VERSION]
                   [-w WIKIID] [-y]

  -d, --debug           set debug level [default: None]
  -V, --version         show program's version number and exit
  -e EMAIL, --email EMAIL
                        email of the user
  -f FILEPATH, --file FILEPATH
                        ini-file path
  -l URL, --url URL     url of the wiki
  -s SCRIPTPATH, --scriptPath SCRIPTPATH
                        script path
  -p PASSWORD, --password PASSWORD
                        password
  -u USER, --user USER  os user id
  -v VERSION, --wikiVersion VERSION
                        version of the wiki
  -w WIKIID, --wikiId WIKIID
                        wiki Id
  -y, --yes             immediately store without asking

Example

E.g. if you have an account on www.semantic-mediawiki.org you can start wikiuser in interactive mode. 

wikiuser
email: john@doe.com
scriptPath: /w
user: jd
url: http://www.semantic-mediawiki.org
version: Mediawiki 1.33
wikiId: smw
password: *****
shall i store jd smw? yes/no y/ny

Now you can e.g. use "smw" as the wikiid for this wiki when using wikipush

Prerequisites

You might want to prepare some credential ini files with the wikiuser script or Mediawiki-Japi CommandLine.

user-config.py

pywikibot expects a user-config.py file. The minimum recommended file for intranet usecases is: 

# https://stackoverflow.com/a/60885381/1497139
# Slow down the robot such that it never makes a second page edit within
# 'put_throttle' seconds.
put_throttle = 0
# avoid warnings ...
family='bitplan'
mylang='en'

The easiest way is to put it at $HOME/.pywikibot/user-config.py

Features

Encrypted credential handling

Py-3rdparty-mediawiki allows using pywikibot by simply giving each wiki an id and using the credential information created by MediaWiki-Japi. The needed family file is automatically created and registered. If you'd like to get a pure python solution for credential handling please file an issue on github - it's no big deal but i personally don't need it yet since i'm fine with the new CommandLine feature added recently.

Semantic MediaWiki API support

Example

from wikibot.wikibot import WikiBot
wikibot=WikiBot.ofWikiId("test2")
