| description | Edit MediaWiki pages safely using the right tool for each change. Covers text replacement, formatting, bulk updates, and new page creation with preview-before-save workflow. |
Wiki Editing
Trigger
Making changes to wiki pages: text corrections, formatting, bulk replacements, or creating new content.
Tool Selection
Pick the simplest tool that handles the edit:
| Change type | Tool |
|---|
| Strike out or format text (bold, italic, underline) | mediawiki_apply_formatting |
| Replace specific text on one page | mediawiki_find_replace |
| Replace a term across multiple pages | mediawiki_bulk_replace |
| Add new content or complex multi-section edits | mediawiki_edit_page |
| Upload a file from URL | mediawiki_upload_file |
Do NOT use mediawiki_edit_page for simple text changes when mediawiki_find_replace or mediawiki_apply_formatting would work.
Workflow
-
Preview first — Always use preview=true on mediawiki_find_replace and mediawiki_bulk_replace before making changes. Show the preview to the user and get confirmation.
-
Make the edit — Execute with preview=false after confirmation.
-
Include an edit summary — Describe what changed: "Updated version to 3.0", "Struck out former employee name", "Fixed broken internal links".
Guardrails
- Always preview destructive edits before executing them.
- Use internal wiki links
[[Page Title]], never full URLs for wiki pages.
- Don't create email links for names; wiki doesn't support
mailto: properly.
- Page titles are case-sensitive. Use
mediawiki_resolve_title if unsure.
- Editing requires authentication (
MEDIAWIKI_USERNAME and MEDIAWIKI_PASSWORD environment variables).
- All content must be in English on the wiki.
