# `wiki_tool_python`

Script to perform various tasks with websites (wikiprojects) on [MediaWiki](https://www.mediawiki.org/) engine using MediaWiki API.

## Installation

Install Python 3.12 or higher, install [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/), run `uv sync --no-dev`.

Then you can just run `uv run COMMAND` to run specific commands under python virtual environment created by uv.

### Installation example

Assuming Python 3.12 or higher and uv are installed.

Initialize and update virtual environment (assuming you are in the folder with this README file):

```sh
uv sync --no-dev
```

Run script:

```sh
uv run python -m wiki_tool_python.wikitool --help
```

## Usage

### Getting help

`--help` Show help message and exit. If this option is used with command, then help message for that specific command will be printed.

### Setting login and password

Some commands require authentication. To tell login and password, use option `--credentials LOGIN:PASSWORD` or set environment variable `MEDIAWIKI_CREDENTIALS` to `LOGIN:PASSWORD`.

## Throttling requests

To set interval between requests in seconds, use option `--requests-interval SECONDS`.

### Selecting MediaWiki version

To select MediaWiki version, use option `--mediawiki-version VERSION`. Versions `1.31` and `1.19` are allowed, but `1.19` is not fully supported. Version `1.31` is default.

## Overwriting User-Agent

To set `User-Agent` header, use option `--user-agent STRING`. User-agent is set to `WikiToolPython` by default.

### Force login

To log in if it is not mandatory for API method, use option `--login`.

### MediaWiki API URL

Parameter `API_URL` should be URL of MediaWiki API without `/api.php`, for example [https://wow.gamepedia.com](https://wow.gamepedia.com) or [https://absurdopedia.wiki/w](https://absurdopedia.wiki/w).
