Here are the list of snippets that are proof of concepts. They are supposed to be useful for creators.
pageTitle
is a fully qualified name.
function get_wikitext(pageTitle) {
var wikitext = "";
$.ajax({
url: mw.util.wikiScript( 'index' ),
data: {
action: 'raw',
title: pageTitle
},
type: 'GET',
success: function( result ) {
wikitext = result;
},
error: function( xhr ) {
alert( 'Error.\nRequest failed.' );
},
async: false
});
return wikitext;
}
function addNewSection( pageTitle, summary, content, editToken ) {
$.ajax({
url: mw.util.wikiScript( 'api' ),
data: {
format: 'json',
action: 'edit',
title: pageTitle,
section: 'new',
summary: summary,
text: content,
token: editToken
},
dataType: 'json',
type: 'POST',
success: function( data ) {
if ( data && data.edit && data.edit.result == 'Success' ) {
window.location.reload(); // reload page if edit was successful
} else if ( data && data.error ) {
alert( 'Error: API returned error code "' + data.error.code + '": ' + data.error.info );
} else {
alert( 'Error: Unknown result from API.' );
}
},
error: function( xhr ) {
alert( 'Error: Request failed.' );
}
});
}
