I'm looking for a way to return parsed wikitext without [edit] links or any other text that mediawiki returns only while logged in. In other words, I want action=parse to return parsed wikitext as if a logged in user was not logged in. Is this possible? Thanks, Jim

Why go through the trouble of impersonating a logged-out user when you can just log out? I guess this doesn't really work if you're like a JS gadget, though. Roan Kattouw (Catrope)
Hi,
The "log in" process involves (as usual for almost all sites) sending
the server a username and password etc, and getting back a cookie or
cookies, which are then sent with each request. Browsers do this
automatically, they don't "know" that there is a login, they just send
back whatever cookies they have been given.
If, as Catrope says, you are in js or something, with no control over
the HTTP request, you can't do much about that except logging out (you
might be able to save and restore the cookies?). But if you are doing
the HTTP request, just leave out the cookies, and you will look
"logged out" to the server.
For example, code to read the API (or index.php) might look like this:
(from Interwicket)
import urllib
from StringIO import StringIO
from gzip import GzipFile
class MyURLopener(urllib.FancyURLopener):
version="Interwicket/1.0"
# [...]
try:
uo = MyURLopener()
uo.addheader('Cookie', logindata or '')
uo.addheader('Accept-Encoding', 'gzip')

Thank you all for your helpful input. If anonymous editing is enabled (as it is by default) the [edit] links are always present in the parsed wikitext. Is there a way to remove them if even if no cookies exist? Jim

Hi,
I'd like to obtain the pageid of a page, even if the page has been deleted.
Requests like this one return the pageid only if the page is still existing.
I have written a tool, WikiCleaner, that can, among other things, help for the Check Wikipedia Project.
When an error is fixed, my tool calls an URL to notify the fix has been done (see the Done button on this page).
In the URL, there's a parameter required for the pageid.
When the page has been deleted since the error was detected, I'd like to automatically notify the fix has been done, but I can't get the pageid from the API.

Hi,
It seems that there's a bug with some pages that have been deleted and restaured after that, but without any more modification. For example, on the French wiki, I get the error when trying to edit fr:Charbonnage. The page exists, its last version was one 2010-03-11 at 12:37:19, but it was deleted and recreated later this day (at 17:45).
Request made: http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?summary=[[:fr:Utilisateur:NicoV/Wikipedia Cleaner/Documentation|WikiCleaner]] 0.99 - Correction des [[Projet:Liens vers les pages d'homonymie|liens vers les pages d'homonymie]]&title=Charbonnage&text=[[Image:Drilling of blastholes with air drill.png||thumb|upright 1.5]]...&basetimestamp=2010-03-11T12:37:19Z&token=xxxxxx+\&minor=&bot=&action=edit&format=xml
Error reported: pagedeleted - The page has been deleted since you fetched its timestamp

Hi,
Is there a way to parse a wiki text to get a simplified text (without HTML, external and internal replaced by their text, ...) ?
My need is the following :

Note that without that check, you would be recreating deleted pages if saving after the actual deletion.
