Hi Jidanni, I thought I knew how to implement your idea, but I am stuck. [fyi: I am using a WAMP 2.0 from Webdeveloper (community edition)]
at the command prompt (in my mediawiki folder), when I type: "php index.php > test.txt", i get a nice html dump of the page as I would expect into the file "test.txt" however, when I type: "php index.php?title=Main&action=raw > test.txt", I get an error that says, "Could not open input file" this is not the behaviour I expected. I have used cURL to do retrieve http requests before, will I have to do that locally to get the "action=raw" response? a better question is, what tool did you have in mind when you referred to the GET command? I'm sure its a fabulous solution if I can get the mechanics of the GET figured out.

If there might be [[Category:...]] already at the bottom, instead make a perl script to insert your addition just before it. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
