Given a Wikipedia page like Wikipedia: Stack Overflow there are often Infoboxes (mostly on the right hand at the top of the page). Example screenshot: DBPedia lists all these attributes as RDF triples. You can see the example at DBPedia: Stack Overflow . There you see the property dbpprop:wikiPageUsesTemplate with the value dbpedia:Template:Infobox_website which is interesting. I want to know which Wikipedia pages use this template. How can i do that and list all pages which use the Infobox_website template? Preferably with a SPARQL query but i am open to other easy solutions. Next thing is a

Is it possible to query the Wikipedia API for articles that contain a specific template? The documentation does not describe any action that would filter search results to pages that contain a template. Specifically, I am after pages that contain Template:Persondata . After that, I am hoping to be able to retrieve just that specific template in order to populate genealogy data for the openancestry.org project. The query below shows that the Albert Einstein page contains the Persondata Template, but it doesn't return the contents of the template, and I don't know how to get a list of page

I got a Wikipedia-Article and I want to fetch the first z lines (or the first x chars, or the first y words, doesn't matter) from the article. The problem: I can get either the source Wiki-Text (via API) or the parsed HTML (via direct HTTP-Request, eventually on the print-version) but how can I find the first lines displayed? Normaly the source (both html and wikitext) starts with the info-boxes and images and the first real text to display is somewhere down in the code. For example: Albert Einstein on Wikipedia (print Version). Look in the code, the first real-text-line "Albert Einstein

I'm having hard time to figure out a basic task: how to find a term restricted in a specific category.. i feel Wiki API documentation is kinda confusing... I'd just like to receive as output a JSON file with all the suggestions related to that term ex. i search for Matrix, category movies, so i can have The Matrix 1 The Matrix 2 etc excluding math results etc... thanks I feel your pain bro, try something like: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&format=jsonfm&srsearch=matrix+incategory:English-language_films Change the above format from jsonfm to json for real json

Are there any existing ways of using the freebase data dumps to create a database similar to what freebase offers, but on you own server? Pretty much freebase but locally and not through the API? I guess it would be possible to create, but are there any existing solutions for this already? Or any alternative solutions for similar data without using an API? I didnt find this for dbpedia either :| Take a look at the freebase-quad-rdfize project on Google Code. It should allow you to download the weekly Freebase quad dump and load it into the RDF triple store of your choice. An alternative to

Is there an open database of blacklisted IP for the Web? With a lot of public web proxy you know... such the blacklist used by the Global blocking of Wikipedia. The Project Honeypot provides as service called Http:BL . As an active member of Project Honeypot you can query their database of IPs that are known as email address harvesters or comment spammers. You can use Blacklist IP Addresses Live Database from myip.ms - http://myip.ms/browse/blacklist/Blacklist_IP_Blacklist_IP_Addresses_Live_Database_Real-time They have latest Blacklist IPs collected during the last 10 days for use in .htaccess

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
