Description:
For a reading (and giving later back!) information from Wikipedia or other MediaWikis
we need to get data from a Machine-
friendly_wiki_interface. Categories help us selecting well specified content.
Now the command http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kategorie:Foo?action=raw" as well as
Special:Export do a good job. The problem is, that for categories "action=raw"
returns the wiki tags. But what we need is the evaluated content, i.e. the list of
articles like they are presented in HTML in default mode.
How about a keyword "evaluated" (and an option in Special:Export) in addition to
action=raw?
Say like this: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kategorie:Ort_in_der_Schweiz?
action=raw&evaluated. Instead of ([[Kategorie: ....]] ....) this would give a list of
all articles as a response.
