mediawiki

I've been searching for about 2 months now to find a script that gets the Wikipedia description section only. (It's for a bot i'm building, not for IRC.) That is, when I say /wiki bla bla bla it will go to the Wikipedia page for bla bla bla , get the following, and return it to the chatroom: "Bla Bla Bla" is the name of a song made by Gigi D'Agostino. He described this song as "a piece I wrote thinking of all the people who talk and talk without saying anything". The prominent but nonsensical vocal samples are taken from UK band Stretch's song "Why Did You Do It" Here is the closest I've found

I have been working on a problem for a few days now. Our local mediawiki page that sits on our box account, destroyed itself and we've been working to get it online. Using XAMPP Control Panel v3.2.1, the errors were numerous so we decided to update XAMPP (v3.2.2) and move the 'htdocs' and 'mysql/data' files over to the new data base. First error: 9:50:21 AM [mysql] Attempting to start MySQL app... 9:50:22 AM [mysql] Status change detected: running 9:50:22 AM [mysql] Status change detected: stopped 9:50:22 AM [mysql] Error: MySQL shutdown unexpectedly. 9:50:22 AM [mysql] This may be due to a

Hi my problem is that i cant load some javascript file @ my special page extension. I tried it with addscript and some other methods but the only thing what happened was that the javascript was canceled cause no-js of the mediawiki software. In the folder of my extension is a new.js file which i want to have access only on my special page. Here is some code (most of it of the example of the special pages). MyExentions.php <?php if (!defined('MEDIAWIKI')) { echo <<<EOT To install my extension, put the following line in LocalSettings.php: require_once( "$IP/extensions/MyExtension/MyExtension.php

Hi i have to make an app with the following requirement: When the user opens the app, it displays the text from a random Wikipedia page. (You’re free to use any logic for grabbing text from a random Wiki page(preferably using REST APIs)) The game requires a minimum of 10 lines of text on the screen. However, we want to show complete paragraphs of text to make it easier to understand the content displayed. Use the least number of paragraphs required to cross the 10 sentence limit. I am able to get text from random wiki page but many times text is less than 10 sentences and to ensure minimum 10

Im tring to get the infobox from wiki pages. For this I'm using wiki api. The following is the url from which I'm getting json data. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvprop=content&format=json&titles= "+first+"&rvsection=0 Where first is a variable containing the article title for Wikipedia. I'm finding it extremely complex to parse this data to make a meaningful html out of it. I was usuing $.each function initially. But the loop is very deep that I had to use 6-7 times to get to the actual data that I want. I think there would be better alternative than this.
