Hi,
This is a very interesting project for DBpedia [1]. We already try to extract
abstracts from articles (e.g. [2]) but up to now we hack in the mw core to get
it [3].
Looking at the code I noticed that for getting section 0 you parse the whole
page. This is a very expensive operation for us. We usually get the wiki markup
part that we want to extract and use this api call to get it.
api.php?format=xml&action=parse&prop=text&title=[...]&text=[...]
Then our hacked mw engine returns as clean text. As you probably guess, title
is used to resolve self references {{PAGENAME}} and text the part of the page
markup we want to get text from.
So, to get to the point, is this feasible in your extension? With some guiding
from your side, we can also work on this.
