WikiLink - The Mediawiki Interface

WikiLink is actually two separate things; firstly, a java class for interfacing with a mediawiki server, and secondly, a Mathematica package providing a wrapper around this. This page documents the Mathematica package, while the java class, and its addition functionality, will be documented elsewhere.

WikiLink is available as a standalone package, suitable for use with any Mediawiki installation, and is included in the KnotTheory` package.

Download

If you already have KnotTheory` installed, there's no need to install anything. The functionality of WikiLink is available as soon as you open KnotTheory`.

Otherwise, download WikiLink.zip. Unzip this anywhere you like. This will create a subdirectory called WikiLink, containing (at least) these files:

Filename	Description
mathematica/WikiLink.nb	The Mathematica notebook containing wrapper function definitions.
mathematica/WikiLink.m	The Mathematica package automatically generated from WikiLink.nb.
wikilink.jar	The WikiLink java classes and source code.

Usage

WikiLink` provides functions for checking your login status, getting and setting pages, as well as transparently extending some of Mathematica's string manipulation functions to wiki pages.

In[6]:= ?WikiUserName WikiUserName[] returns either the name of the user you are logged in as, your IP address if you're not logged in, or $Failed if something more complicated has happened!

In[7]:= ?WikiGetPageText WikiGetPageText[pagename] returns the raw text of the specified page.

In[8]:= ?WikiSetPageText WikiSetPageText[pagename, text] overwrites the contents of the specificied page with the given text. WikiSetPageText[pagename, text, summary] overwrites the contents of the specificied page with the given text and notes summary in the change log.

In[9]:= ?WikiSetPageTexts WikiSetPageText[{{pagename1, text1},{pagename2,text2},...}] efficiently sets multiple pages, by first checking which texts are already up to date.

In[10]:= ?WikiUploadFile WikiUploadFile[name, description] uploads the specified file to the wiki.

Thus for example after

In[11]:=	WikiSetPageText["Sandbox", "A robotic edit, at 19:39, 31-August-2005."]
Out[11]=	True

we get

In[12]:=	WikiGetPageText["Sandbox"]
Out[12]=	A robotic edit, at 19:39, 31-August-2005.

The function WikiSetPageTexts is most useful for batch uploads, as it does considerably more error checking, and filters out edits which won't change the page text. It takes as argument a list of {"title", "text"} pairs, and returns a list of those pairs which failed.

In[13]:=	WikiSetPageTexts[{{"Sandbox", "A robotic edit, by --~~"<>"~~"}, {"Sandbox2", "The determinant of the knot [[3_1]] is 3."}}]
Out[13]=	{}

In[14]:=	WikiGetPageText["Sandbox2"]
Out[14]=	The determinant of the knot [[3_1]] is 3.

String manipulation functions

WikiLink` provides functions WikiPageMatchQ, WikiPageFreeQ, WikiStringReplace and WikiStringCases. Each function works likes its usual Mathematica partner, StringMatchQ, StringFreeQ, StringReplace or StringCases. Instead of providing a string, or list of strings, as the first argument, you should give the name of a page, or a list of names.

You can use these to perform all sorts of editing tricks.

In[15]:=	WikiPageMatchQ[{"Sandbox", "Sandbox2"}, "determinant"]
Out[15]=	{False, False}

In[16]:=	WikiPageFreeQ[{"Sandbox", "Sandbox2"}, "[["~~(DigitCharacter..)~~"_"~~(DigitCharacter..)~~"]]"]
Out[16]=	{True, False}

In[17]:=	WikiStringCases[{"Sandbox", "Sandbox2"}, "[["~~ShortestMatch[__]~~"]]"]
Out[17]=	{{Sandbox, {[[User:ScottManualRobot|ScottManualRobot]]}}, {Sandbox2, {[[3_1]]}}}

In[18]:=	WikiStringReplace[{"Sandbox", "Sandbox2"}, "robotic edit"->"robotic edit (using WikiLink`)]
Out[18]=	$Failed

In[19]:=	WikiGetPageTexts[{"Sandbox", "Sandbox2"}]
Out[19]=	{{Sandbox, A robotic edit, by\ --[[User:ScottManualRobot|ScottManualRobot]] 14:54, 18 Feb 2006\ (EST)}, {Sandbox2, The determinant of the knot [[3_1]] is 3.}}

Todo

I'd love to create an Ant task which allows uploading a file to a wiki. We could then use this in build scripts for KnotTheory, etc. --Scott 04:07, 17 Sep 2005 (EDT)
