wikimedia-wikitext SKILL.md skillA

wikimedia-wikitext from fuzheado/wikipedia-ai-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add fuzheado/wikipedia-ai-skills/wikimedia-wikitext@git:20261009.278e48a

Pins git:20261009.278e48a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Parse, extract, and manipulate Wikipedia and MediaWiki wikitext (wiki markup, templates, infoboxes, citations, links) using proper AST-based tooling instead of fragile regex patterns.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

> ⚠️ **User-Agent required:** The API examples below use the Action API and REST API. All requests must include a descriptive `User-Agent` header or they will be blocked. See the **[wikimedia-api-access](../wikimedia-api-access/SKILL.md)** skill for the correct format.

## SOP: The Two Strategies

There are **two fundamentally different approaches** to reading and extracting data from MediaWiki wikitext. Choose based on whether you need to **write back** wikitext changes.

| Strategy | When to use | Tool |
|----------|-------------|------|
| **AST Parsing** | You need to modify wikitext or extract structured data from raw markup | `mwparserfromhell` |
| **Parsoid HTML** | You only need to *read* page content as structured text/data | MediaWiki REST API (`/html` endpoint) + BeautifulSoup/lxml |

**Never** mix the two — do not parse Parsoid HTML to reconstruct wikitext, and do not use regex on raw wikitext to extract data.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fuzheado/wikipedia-ai-skills/wikimedia-wikitext@sha256:4731721a37ff6ad6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.278e48a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
