What is it
Extended functionality for
Originally we intended to use also support:
the results where disappointing - pywikibot kept being a source of trouble more than a solution to our needs
Github
Via Source code
git clone https://github.com/WolfgangFahl/py-3rdparty-mediawiki
./install
wikipush / wikibackup / wikiedit / wiknuke / wikirestore/ wikiquery / wikiupload / wikiuser scripts
Setup method
If you installed with the method above console_script will have been added to your environment. You can e.g. check
which wikipush
/Users/wf/Library/Python/3.8/bin/wikipush
and there should be a wikipush script in your path.
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'.

wikiquery
wikiquery allows to send SMW ask-query via commandline and get the results in json or csv format. With the query division parameter the limits of SMW for the maximum amount of displayed results can be overcome. E.g. if you set
$smwgQMaxInlineLimit=1500; $smwgQMaxInlineLimitSets=1500; $smwgQMaxLimit = 5000;
You'll be able to get more than 1500/5000 results.

USAGE
optional arguments:

Example
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 ...✅

wikirestore
Tool to restore wiki pages from an local backup, created with wikibackup, to an destination wiki.
Arguments
Argument | Description |
---|---|
-s | Source wiki - Only used to query page names. The queried page names will then be looked up in the backup. |
-t | Target wiki - The backup is restored in this wiki |
-q | SMW query to select the pages to be restored. Note that the query is only used to select the page names the actual backup is then restored from the local backup. |
-p | Names of the pages to be restored |
--backupPath | define location of the backup. Default is the default backup location of the target wiki. |
If argument -s is used a page query is executed therefore all arguments related to an page query can be used such as -ui and --limit.
Examples
--backupPath
Use this argument to define a different backup folder

Scenario: Restore triangle
$ wikirestore -s or -q "[[isA:Event]]" -t orth --backupPath "/home/user/wikibackup/orth_copy"
With this command we query all page names that are an Event from the wiki or and restore them in the wiki orth with the version of the page that is stored in /home/user/wikibackup/orth_copy.

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.
