Mediawiki.el is a package to help add content to any mediawiki site including WikEmacs. It comes with a Major Mode to support editing Mediawiki markup.

Basic setup

Install mediawiki.el from el-get or ELPA.

Customization

M-x load-library RET mediawiki RET
Load the library
M-x customize-variable RET mediawiki-site-alist
Configure as follows and save your settings
Site Name: WikEmacs
URL: http://wikemacs.org/w/
Username: InCognito
Password: s!cr!t
First Page: Main Page
You can provide "Username" and "Password" in your .authinfo file. home directory.

Alternatively you can add this snippet of Emacs Lisp code to your .emacs:

(require 'mediawiki)

(setq mediawiki-site-alist '(("Wikipedia" "http://en.wikipedia.org/w" "" "" "Main Page")
                             ("WikEmacs" "http://wikemacs.org/w/" "" "" "Main Page")))

;; Emacs users care more for WikEmacs than Wikipedia :-)
(setq mediawiki-site-default "WikEmacs")

You can naturally add more MediaWiki sites to the mediawiki-site-alist variable.
