import mediawiki markup using a script

Is it possible to import generated mediawiki markup using a script, instead of manually having to cut and paste it?

Perhaps there is a maintenance script that does this, but I couldn't figure out which one. It would help me a lot, since there are hundreds of pages that I would like to update in this way.

Best regards,

Wieger

Here is a perl script that will perform a number of common functions:
https://organicdesign.co.nz/Wiki.pl

I have used this in the past for wiki migrations and it has been very
effective.

Also the MediaWiki API can perform many tasks in an automated way.

I believe [[Special:Export]] (tell it to save to a file) and
[[Special:Import]] may be what your looking for if your copying from
one wiki to another.

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for! For some reason I
misinterpreted the explanation of this script.
