Disclaimer & License

[edit]

Mediawiki Bulk Page Creator is release under the GPL License.

Install this software at your own risk there is no warranty or support.

[edit]

Jonathan Cutrer has developed a proprietary web version of this tool called Mediawiki CSV Import. mwcsvimport is web-based and is more flexible since it takes CSV data as the import source. You can also format the data on import with page templates. The tool generates an XML Import file. Mediawiki CSV Import. Unfortunately the source code is not free nor available online.

Here is a companion script to go with it. It sucks down data from a UseModWiki site in the format usable by this script. Try this: http://www.hudsonic.com/migwiki/bulkget-umw.php.txt

Blatant hack

[edit]

Also a blatant hacking for image uploading in bulk:
