Thread:Project:Support desk/External Creation of New Wiki Pages

Hello,

I have a question regarding the creation of new Wiki pages. I am using MediaWiki 1.15.1, MySQL version 5.1.37 and PHP version 5.3.0. I am wondering if there is a way for me to create new Wiki pages from a web site that is outside of the wiki.

The reason I would like to be able to do this is that I am currently working with two online databases, Mediawiki and Andy’s PHP Knowledgebase. I would like to stream line updating these two separate databases through one submission form. I have been able to figure out how to add information to the Knowledgebase from a webpage on my test server but I am having difficulty doing the same for MediaWiki.

My first thought was to attempt to add the articles directly into the MediaWiki database using PHP and MySQL commands but the MediaWiki’s database structure is much more complex then the Knowlegebase’s.

I have searched the documentation as thoroughly as I could but I can’t seem to locate a suitable solution to my problem. If any one can point me in the right direction, as to how to approach this I would be grateful.

Thanks,

Dan
