What is this?
This thing started when I am contributing to the Myth of Empires Wiki at Fandom. There are a large number of items out there while the team does not have enough hands on the deck.
However, it occurred to me that most of these things are repeated work – copy, paste and filling in by copy & paste. So when we are spending a lot of time doing copy and paste, what can I do to improve efficiency?
By bulk generation, of course.
Fandom has an import function, so I decided that I can take advantage of it, by generating import format (XML) out of CSV documents. It helped the overall generation process of the team and can be used for other projects as well with no or slightest modifications.
It is anticipated that this tool may work on other MediaWiki-based systems, including Wikipedia and Bilibili Wiki.This program works on Windows 32/64-bit systems.
