Hi,
I suspect this question will not have as elegant an answer as I'd like
but I was wondering if anyone in this mailing lists knows an easy (like
easy enough for someone with as little programming understand as myself)
automated way of downloading all the files in a category or an article
on a Wikimedia project/Wikia site. I am running windows 7 (64 bit) SP1
if it is relevant, although I do have access to a Linux command line
(namely cygwin 64 bits) if needed.
I have seen
|http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_download_all_image_files_in_a_Wikimedia_Commons_page_or_directory|
but it didn't help me as at the |WIKI_LINKS| step I received an error
that there was no such page on Wikimedia Commons.
If you would like a specific example to work with (i.e., a specific
category to write a code to download from) try the Wikimedia Commons
category Histopathology
(|https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Histopathology|). Dw I
know this download will take a while due to the number and size of the
files involved.
Thanks for your time,
Brenton
