README

a plugin for wtf_wikipedia
npm install wtf-plugin-wikitext

Output all, or part of a wikipedia article in wiki-script.

const wtf = require('wtf_wikipedia')
wtf.extend(require('wtf-plugin-wikitext'))

let doc = wtf('hello [[world]]')
doc.makeWikitext()
// 'hello [[world]]'

all wtf_wikipedia models have a .wikitext() method that (tries to) return their original wikitext. This method will try to _generate* the wikitext, as best it can. This is a lossy, and error-prone process, but may be useful for some applications.

let doc = wtf(`hello [[world]]. {{cool|fun=yes}}`)
let tmpl = doc.template()
console.log(tmpl.makeWikitext())
// {{cool| fun = yes}}

tmpl.data.more = 'yes'
console.log(tmpl.makeWikitext())
// {{cool| fun = yes| more = yes}}

Concievably, this could be part of a edit-bot workflow, although there are many unresolved problems still, to doing so.

work-in-progress!
