Hi,

How can I get list of all articles along with their creation date and author. The report should comprise of document name, author and created by - unique document names only

Thanks in advance

okay thank you@Malyacko

See API:Main page how you can construct MediaWiki API queries in order to get only some information (like author of the first revision of a MediaWiki page).

There isn't any extension which can be used for the mentioned requirement?

Hopefully not. However, nobody stops you from writing an extension that covers any potential and extremely generic "I want to get data X, Y, Z based on A, B, C" usecase that anyone might ever come up with for whatever reasons. :)

Thanks. One more question. Under Special Pages, there is a report for New pages. Does this capture list of all pages or its limited to certain time period . If you could provide more clarity on this.

Thanks!

Only period set for Recentchanges. See Manual:$wgRCMaxAge.
