Module pywikipedia.table2wiki

Nifty script to convert HTML-tables to Wikipedia's syntax.


-file:filename
      will read any [[wikipedia link]] and use these articles

-sql:XYZ
      reads a local SQL cur dump, available at http://download.wikimedia.org/.
      Searches for pages with HTML tables, and tries to convert them on the live
      wiki. Example:
      python table2wiki.py -sql:20040711_cur_table.sql.sql -lang:de

SQL-Query

SELECT CONCAT('[[', cur_title, ']]')
       FROM cur
       WHERE (cur_text LIKE '%<table%'
         OR cur_text LIKE '%<TABLE%')
         AND cur_title REGEXP "^[A-N]"
         AND cur_namespace=0
       ORDER BY cur_title
       LIMIT 500
