Installation

pip install py-3rdparty-mediawiki
# alternatively if your pip is not a python3 pip
pip3 install py-3rdparty-mediawiki 
# local install from source directory of py-3rdparty-mediawiki 
pip install .

upgrade

pip install py-3rdparty-mediawiki  -U
# alternatively if your pip is not a python3 pip
pip3 install py-3rdparty-mediawiki -U


What is it

Extended functionality for

  1. mwclient

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'.
usage: wikipush.py [-h] [-d] [-V] [-l] [-f] [-i] [-q QUERY] -s SOURCE -t
                   TARGET [-p PAGES [PAGES ...]]

USAGE

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d, --debug           set debug level [default: None]
  -V, --version         show program's version number and exit
  -l, --login           login to source wiki for access permission
  -f, --force           force to overwrite existing pages
  -i, --ignore          ignore upload warnings e.g. duplicate images

Example

wikipush -s smw -t test2 -q "[[Category:City]]|limit=5"
family and mylang are not set.
Defaulting to family='test' and mylang='test'.
copying 4 pages from smw to test2

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.

  Licensed under the Apache License 2.0

  Distributed on an "AS IS" basis without warranties
  or conditions of any kind, either express or implied.

USAGE

optional arguments:
  -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
  -t TARGET, --target TARGET
                        target wiki id
  -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

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.py allows mass editing of pages using python regular expressions

usage

wikiedit -h
usage: wikiedit.py [-h] [-d] [-V] --search SEARCH --replace REPLACE [-f] [-q QUERY] [-qf QUERYFIELD] -t TARGET
                   [-p PAGES [PAGES ...]]

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

wikibackup

 1$ wikibackup -s orth --backupPath "/home/user/wikibackup/orth_copy" -q "[[isA::Event]]" --limit 10

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.

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

  -p PASSWORD, --password PASSWORD
                        password

  -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

see https://github.com/WolfgangFahl/py-3rdparty-mediawiki/issues/1

Example

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