> People have been trying to crawl wikis with ManifoldCF, but using the generic crawler is not a good way to do this.  Instead, it looks like we really could use a wiki connector, which would understand the wiki API and thus crawl wiki content quickly and effectively.
> Some pertinent API references follow:
> I don't know if it is possible to link to a wiki document with just the pageid, but it is possible to to get the url for the referring pageid via api:
> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&pageids=27697087&inprop=url
> It is possible to get the metadata of a document using the pages id (instead of title) directly:
> Titel -> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&titles=API&rvprop=timestamp|user|comment|content
> PageID -> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&pageids=27697087&rvprop=timestamp|user|comment|content
> - There needs to be some notion of an overall list of pages:
>        - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Allpages
>        - Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&apfrom=Kre&aplimit=5
> - Metadata information (author and pub date) also needs to be separated out in some way:
>        - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Properties#Revisions:_Example
>        - Example:  http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&titles=API|Main%20Page&rvprop=timestamp|user|comment|content
