DefaultConfig for popular wikis/languages besides English

[kno10]

For the English Wikipedia, we have DefaultConfigEnWp, but for other Wikipedia this still needs to be manually configured. It would be great to have tested configurations for other major Wikipedias, e.g. German Wikipedia, French, and Spanish. I tried finding the settings in use by Wikipedia, but did not get very far. Some configuration appears to be here: https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/ (in particular, InitializeSettings.php), while other parts are part of MediaWiki, rather than configuration: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MW/browse/master/languages/messages/MessagesDe.php

I agree and patches are of course welcome, however, I will not have the time to work on this myself.

Hey I wrote a patch 3 years ago that automatically generates a config by calling the wikipedia api. You can take a look at it here: https://github.com/sweble/sweble-wikitext/blob/develop/sweble-wikitext-components-parent/swc-engine/src/main/java/org/sweble/wikitext/engine/utils/LanguageConfigGenerator.java

I'm not sure if it still works and I think the code can be greatly improved if you have time. It worked for me when i used sweble to parse the german wikipedia.

Thank you. This looks very useful. It causes some (legit) exceptions, so I will have to look into this:

The name sub was already registered by the alias img_sub when trying to register it for alias sub.

@pumpadump it works mostly. However, the API returns if as alias for the if magic word, but Sweble needs this to be #if: to work. Thus, the parser functions no longer work.

Also missing: from ".wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=general&format=xml", get the linktrail setting, convert it to a Java regexp (keeping only the first group), and assign this as

wikiConfig.getParserConfig().setInternalLinkPostfixPattern(pattern);

Maybe also other of these general settings should be used...
