Add Content to Mediawiki from Script

I would like to add content to my mediawiki from a script.
For example, after a successful build, I would like to add info to
mediawiki page such as "2/25/12 Build completed successfully" via
the script.

Any easy ways to do this via some extension, or otherwise ?
thanks,
Lori

Re: Add Content to Mediawiki from Script [In reply to]

That depends on where your content is coming from. If it's external to your
wiki, you probably need a bot. You can find info about them here:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Bots

Basically, they interact with MediaWiki via the API:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page

You can use the API to code up something to do simple things that doesn't
require full bot capability. I have done neither myself, so I can't say
which approach is better for your needs.
