--- Comment #2 from orenbochman <orenboch...@gmail.com> ---
err steps are - write an R library that works with the api using RCurl's
postForm
do login (2step)
get an edit token (1step)
do an edit via:
addNewSection<-function(title="Wikipedia_talk:Sandbox",
sectiontitle="sectiontitle",
summaryText,
text="text",
editToken,
curl)
{
#perfom the edit using these parameters
editPars = list(
action="edit",
title=title,
section="new",
sectiontitle=sectiontitle,
watchlist="preferences",
summary=summaryText,
text=text,
bot="",
minor="",
format="xml",
token=editToken
)#add token to request
x1=postForm(uri=api,.params=editPars,style="httppost",curl=curl) #edit
#parse the result
doc=xmlInternalTreeParse(x1, trim = TRUE)
return(doc)
}
res=addNewSection(title="Wikipedia:Sandbox",
sectiontitle=paste("WRAP Test ",Sys.time()),
summaryText="WRAP test edit",
text="Hello World MW api\n\n",
editToken=editToken,
curl=h)
when sectiontitle is blank - summaryText works per the docs - when it is
specified as shown edit summary remains blank.
hope this helps :-)
