WikipediaFS is a mountable virtual file system that allows to read and
|
||
|
|
edit articles from Wikipedia (or any Mediawiki-based site) as if they
|
||
|
|
were real files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is thus possible to view and edit articles using your favourite
|
||
|
|
text-editor. Text-editors tend to be more convenient than a simple
|
||
|
|
browser form when it comes to editing large texts and they generally
|
||
|
|
include useful features such as Mediawiki syntax highlighting and
|
||
|
|
spell checking.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Advanced usage of WikipediaFS includes easy development of scripts and
|
||
|
|
bots. Programs simply have to deal with normal files because this is
|
||
|
|
WikipediaFS which takes care of the HTTP layer. For example, it would
|
||
|
|
be possible to use WikipediaFS to perform a massive content migration
|
||
|
|
from an existing site to a Mediawiki.
