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. + +Features + + * Reading and editing articles, including subpages. + * User * configuration : add your own Mediawiki. + * Editing with your login + * HTTPS, HTTP authentication, proxy. |
