About
py-3rdparty-mediawiki is also known as the Wikipush Toolkit — a set of tools for automating MediaWiki page content handling using Python and a command line. This project was presented at SMWCon Fall 2020.
The toolkit works with any MediaWiki wiki, not just SMW-enabled ones: SMW wikis are queried natively using ask queries, while non-SMW wikis are supported by faking SMW-style queries for categories — allowing pages to be pushed from wikis without Semantic MediaWiki installed.
Examples
wikipush
Copy pages between wikis:
wikipush -s smw -t test2 -q "[[Category:City]]|limit=5"
copying 4 pages from smw to test2

wikiupload
Upload files to a wiki:
wikiupload -t test --files car.png
uploading 1 files to test
1/1 ( 100%): uploading car.png ...✅
wikinuke
The default behavior is a dry run only listing whether the pages exist:
wikinuke -t test -p deleteMe1 deleteMe2 deleteMe3
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 ...✅
wikiedit
wikiedit -t test -q "[[isA::CFP]]" --search "CALL FOR PAPER" --replace "CFP"
editing 1 pages in test (dry run)
1/1 ( 100%): editing CALL FOR PAPER Journal: Advances in Multimedia - An International Journal (AMIJ) ...👍
