Bash shell scripts for usage of MediaWiki API

Download, upload changes to, and manage pages from MediaWiki wikis from the command line.

This tool may work on other wiki sites, but is primarily intended for management of the Kicksecure and Whonix wikis.

Setup

Create a credentials file in /usr/share/mediawiki-shell/credentials or ~/.mediawikishell_credentials with the following contents:

case "${WIKI_URL-}" in
  *".whonix."*)
    WIKI_API_USER_NAME='username'
    WIKI_API_USER_PASS='password'
    ;;
  *".kicksecure."*)
    WIKI_API_USER_NAME='username'
    WIKI_API_USER_PASS='password'
    ;;
esac
WIKI_API="$WIKI_URL/api.php"
WIKI_INDEX="$WIKI_URL/index.php"

If using a different wiki, add an entry to the case block.
