Perl Regex for Page Names

perl -ne 'print "$2\n" while m|<a href="[^"]*"( class="mw-redirect")* title="[^"]*">([^<>]*)</|g' < pages-02.html

Perl Regex for File Links

a href="/wiki/File:01mendel-ABS_solid-bed-height-spacer-31m.jpg"

cat files-*.html | perl -ne 'print "$1\n" while m|a href="(File:[^"]*)"|g'

Handling Files

1. Hit the /wiki/File:... page
2. grep for "Full resolution"
3. get the URL from: a href="/w/images/1/1c/zoom-into-rectangle.png" class="internal"
4. Go to the All Pages special page and export the Files category.
   1. Import those pages to the new wiki.
5. Upload the files, ignoring warnings. (maybe find a way to bulk this)

curl 'https://wiki.heatsynclabs.org/wiki/File:zoom-into-rectangle.png' | grep 'Full resolution' | perl -ne 'print "$1\n" while m|a href="(/w/images/[^"]*)" class="internal"|g'
