It lets you extract structured elements\u2014templates, parameters, wikilinks, tables, sections, lists, and HTML tags\u2014from raw wiki markup and modify them programmatically. The library handles nested templates, colspan/rowspan in tables, category detection, and section hierarchy, making it suitable for bulk editing, data extraction, or automated wiki maintenance tasks.\n\nThe package depends on regex and wcwidth for pattern matching and text width calculation. It is actively maintained, supports modern Python versions (3.8+), and has no known security vulnerabilities. The GPLv3 license means any code using it must also be open-source under the same license.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, no security issues, and fills a specific need for MediaWiki wikitext parsing. The GPLv3 copyleft license is a hard constraint only if you need proprietary distribution; for open-source projects, wiki automation, or data extraction, it is a straightforward choice."},"id":"wikitextparser","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/wikitextparser","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/wikitextparser.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/wikitextparser/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-31","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"wikitextparser","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A simple parsing tool for MediaWiki's wikitext markup."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":127237,"position":11749,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.3"}
