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. |

====License==== |

<tt>WikiLink.nb</tt>, <tt>WikiLink.m</tt> and <tt>wikilink.jar</tt> are copyright Scott Morrison, available under your choice of the MIT, Apache or GPL licenses. The other components are copyright by other parties, all available under the Apache license. |

====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 [http://katlas.math.toronto.edu/svn/WikiLink/tags/stable/WikiLink.zip WikiLink.zip]. Unzip this anywhere you like. This will create a subdirectory called WikiLink, containing (at least) these files: |

====Compatibility==== |
|||
WikiLink has been tested against mediawiki 1.4.5beta3 and 1.4.7. |
|||
WikiLink has known issues on mediawiki 1.5.0. Retrieving multiple pages at once is broken. This appears to be a mediawiki bug, and will not be fixed. The same problem does not occur on mediawiki 1.5.8. --[[User:Scott|Scott]] 10:56, 27 Mar 2006 (EST) |
|||
I expect WikiGetPage text to continue working in mediawiki 1.5 and beyond, because it uses the stable interface [[Special:Export]]. Logging in and setting pages will quite likely break in the next version. If you've tried this, please let me know about your experiences. I'm hoping that soon (1.5?) [[Special:Import]] will become available, and I can switch to using this. --[[User:Scott|Scott]] 15:57, 31 Aug 2005 (EDT) |
|||
====Todo==== |
|||
I'd love to [http://ant.apache.org/manual/develop.html#writingowntask create an Ant task] which allows uploading a file to a wiki. We could then use this in build scripts for KnotTheory, etc. --[[User:Scott|Scott]] 04:07, 17 Sep 2005 (EDT) |
|||
====See Also==== |
|||
All of the Mathematica notebooks in [[:Category:Knot Atlas Maintenance Software]] rely on WikiLink, and so are good examples of how to use it. |
