⌘⌘ 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
