MediaWiki Dump Import
Purpose
MediaWiki Dump Import turns wiki dump content into searchable documents.
Use it to build a search index for a wiki without crawling every page through HTTP.
What You Can Do Here
- MediaWiki Dump Import turns wiki dump content into searchable documents.
- Define the source, target, format, collection, and expected size before starting.
- Monitor progress because large transfers continue beyond the initial request.
Page Architecture
Import and export pages translate external data formats into YaCy documents or move YaCy index data into another store. Most long-running actions create background work that should be monitored afterward.
| Control | Meaning | Values or examples |
|---|---|---|
file |
Selected or uploaded file. | Text value; use the page label and surrounding context to choose the exact content. |
iffresh |
Import only when modified since last import. | Import only when modified since last import |
submit |
Submits the form. | Import MediaWiki Dump |
Correct Use
Prepare source and target details before starting: file path or URL, format, collection, credentials if needed, and expected size. Imports and exports can continue in the background, so confirm progress on the related monitor or queue page.
Access And Safety
Administrator access is required. YaCy protects _p pages as administration pages.
Protected related endpoint(s): /IndexImportMediawiki_p.html.
Backend checks: transaction token for protected POST, transaction token issued for forms.
Automation And API
Page backend: source/net/yacy/htroot/IndexImportMediawiki_p.java.
| Endpoint | Method | Access | Backend |
|---|---|---|---|
/IndexImportMediawiki_p.html |
POST |
admin | source/net/yacy/htroot/IndexImportMediawiki_p.java |
Parameter Guide
The table explains values that an agent or script must set deliberately. Parameters not relevant to a task should be omitted or left at the page default.
| Parameter | Meaning and valid values | Care |
|---|---|---|
file |
Selected or uploaded file. | Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default. |
iffresh |
Import only when modified since last import. | Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default. |
submit |
Submit action for the form. Its meaning depends on the surrounding fields. | Changes stored data, configuration, or a running job. Use the authenticated action flow where required and verify the result. |
Example request shape:
POST /IndexImportMediawiki_p.html
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
file=...&iffresh=...&submit=...&report=...
What To Expect
Small operations may finish during the request; large imports, exports, harvests, and package operations usually need monitoring. Expect progress, logs, queue entries, or generated files rather than instant final search quality.
