Monitors a MediaWiki Instance for page creation and deletion events in a loop.
Designed to monitor the 32c3 wiki for fun.
Oh, it also alerts/logs if the Wiki is not responding properly, as it has less uptime than a not-up thing. I might be able to make some cool charts of wiki uptime over time as the event goes on :)

Just edit the config.json file. Auth can be 0 or 1. Credentials are ignored if auth is 0.

{
    "wiki": "https://events.ccc.de/congress/2015/wiki/",
    "auth": 0,
    "username": "blank",
    "password": "blank"
}

Depends on the mwclient library, so just do pip install mwclient. Written for Python2, don't expect it to actually work on Python3.

Just run it with the config file as the arg.

I'll be logging downtime/wiki not respond properly using this script throughout the event, and might be able to generate some cool graphs from the logs, maybe :)
If it works out, next version will have an IRC notifier and twitter bot for 33c3, or maybe I will code that during 32c3 as I am stuck on my arse at home trying to avoid studying for exams :P

Licenced under the WTFPL, so do whatever.

Most of the code is self-documenting with comments, if anything is unclear as to why I did it, let me know in the issue tracker or on twitter.

This script is not intended for serious purposes. Just curious about what gets created/rm'd as congress goes on.
