I actually have a php scrpt that does just this.
There is a list of variables that are needed to make a new page.
These are the ones I have, and it works perfectly.
This only works for new pages. It will not work for edits as more
info is needed.
['wpTextbox1'] = 'info for the page here';
['wpSummary'] = "";
['wpSection'] = "";
['wpEdittime'] = "";
['wpMinoredit'] = "1";
['wpSave'] = "Save page";
['wpEditToken'] = $token;
wpEditToken is actually taken from the page in my script.
here is more info on it:

hi,
I'm trying to write a programm with java to insert content
automatically
into the wiki.
I set the POST variables and the submit button value and then send the
request to the server. Now comes the problem that MediaWiki doesn't
let me
post anything.
The page returned is only the preview page, but exactly with the
content I
wanted to post.
So I've got the question whether there are any special variables to
be set.
Looking at the source code I saw that there are some hidden fields.
Do they all have to be set to get this posted?
Or are there any other problems or things I have to consider?
Thanks for any help or links.
Johannes
