[IT] Add word of the day support

[BoboTiG]

Hint, maybe: https://it.wiktionary.org/wiki/Template:PdGRandom

[lasconic]

Indeed, but my understanding is that since 2014, the italian wiktionary is taking a word of this same list depending of the day (#expr: ( {{#time:z}} mod 41) + 1). The variation is very low...

Oups, I merged without seeing your comments!

[BoboTiG]

My patch is incorrect then. I'll revert it right now.

[lasconic]

That's fine. We will just check these 50 words again and again

[lasconic]

An entirely random word would be better. Maybe using this API ? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Random/fr

[BoboTiG]

It is terrible how my Mediawiki API skills are poor. I struggle to find any kind of information... 😅

Yes, that radom API would be great, if we have the same API for all locales, that would be perfect.

[lasconic]

Something like https://it.wiktionary.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=random&rnnamespace=0&rnlimit=2

Probably needs a better check for namespace ?

[BoboTiG]

Using that API to return one item, and we are good to go. 👍🏻

[BoboTiG]

We can add a new CLI argument for that: python -m wikidict LOCALE --random, WDYT?

[lasconic]

if it works, I would ditch the wotd code and replace it with that since it would work for all locales

[BoboTiG]

Sounds good. Do you want to give a try?

[BoboTiG]

It seems to work for all locales, that's awesome. Example with russian:

• https://ru.wiktionary.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=random&rnnamespace=0&rnlimit=1&format=json

[BoboTiG]

It seems rnnamespace=0&rnlimit=1 are useless as they are the defaults.

[lasconic]

If it works with 1, and we don't get banned, we could check 10 per language :)

[BoboTiG]

The max is 500 IIR :) Lets check more words then!
