NAME

       Parse::MediaWikiDump::page - Object representing a specific revision of a MediaWiki page

ABOUT

       This object is returned from the "next" method of Parse::MediaWikiDump::Pages and
       Parse::MediaWikiDump::Revisions. You most likely will not be creating instances of this
       particular object yourself instead you use this object to access the information about a
       page in a MediaWiki instance.

SYNOPSIS

         $pages = Parse::MediaWikiDump::Pages->new('pages-articles.xml');

         #get all the records from the dump files, one record at a time
         while(defined($page = $pages->next)) {
           print "title '", $page->title, "' id ", $page->id, "\n";
         }

STATUS

       This software is being RETIRED - MediaWiki::DumpFile is the official successor to
       Parse::MediaWikiDump and includes a compatibility library called
       MediaWiki::DumpFile::Compat that is 100% API compatible and is a near perfect standin for
       this module. It is faster in all instances where it counts and is actively maintained. Any
       undocumented deviation of MediaWiki::DumpFile::Compat from Parse::MediaWikiDump is
       considered a bug and will be fixed.
