Package: wikilinks
wikilinkswikilinksis a Python command line utility and module that allow you to easily
extract external links from Wikipedia that point at a particular website.  It
can be useful and interesting to see how Wikipedians have cited the content made
available on another website. These links say something about the websites
placement in Wikipedia, as well as the topics of interest in the website.Thewikilinkscode was originally part of a much larger project calledLinkypediathat was used to visualize the use of cultural heritage materials
on Wikipedia.  Linkypedia has since been shut down but perhaps this little piece
of functionality could still be of use to you.WhileWikipedia's APIallows you list external links from a given page, it
doesn't (to my knowledge) have an API call to retrieve pages that link to a
particular website. However they do provide theExternal links searchpage
that lets you perform this lookup in your browser.wikilinkssimply scrapes
those results, for all language Wikipedias.Installpip install wikilinksUseFind links in English Wikipedia that point at the mith.umd.edu website and print
them out as tab separated URLs:% wikilinks --lang en http://mith.umd.edu
