MediaWiki-EditFramework version 0.01 ==================================== This is a higher level framework for editing MediaWiki pages. This is the framework that I've been using for the past few years to run an archiving bot. The main features that it has over lower-level frameworks are: * Pages are represented as objects. This allows the page to store additional information, such as the last updated timestamp when they were retrieved. This time stamp is then passed back to the server when the page is edited, to allow it to properly detect edit conflicts. * The module supports specified a write_prefix, which is appended to pages titles when editing a page. This makes it easier to create a test mode for a bot script. By specifying the write prefix in your own user space, the bot will retrieve the normal pages, but the modifications will be written to user space so you can review them without impacting others.
