⌘⌘ MediaWiki API
- The MediaWiki API allows manipulating your Wiki automatically
There are many implementations for different languages e.g.
| Language | Project | By |
|---|---|---|
| Java | MediaWiki-Japi | BITPlan |
| Python | pywikbot | WikiMedia Foundation |
| JavaScript | nodemw | Maciej Brencz |
⌘⌘ Dragtop Example
The Dragtop prototype shows how automation could be simplified. A main showstopper on the way to this is how to make the credentials available for the automation without interfering the user experience.
⌘⌘ Encrypted credential storage
