Wikitrender

A wrapper for the Wikimedia EventStream for monitoring edit activity on Wikimedia projects e.g. Wikipedia over an extended period of time.

Sample code:

    var WikiSocketCollection = require( 'wikitrender' );

    var collection = new WikiSocketCollection( {
        id: 'mysocket',
      project: 'en.wikipedia.org', // wiki you want to subscribe to
        minPurgeTime: 10, // every 10 minutes a purge will happen clearing pages...
        // ...it will only happen for pages that have not been marked as safe (see below) AND where... 
        maxLifespan: 180, // ... the page was first edited 180 mins ago
        minSpeed: 5 // ... OR the speed of editing on the page is less than 5 edits per minute
        maxInactivity: 60, // ... OR there have been no edits in the last 60 minutes
        } );

    collection.on( 'edit', function ( page, collection ) {
        console.log( '->', page.title, page.editsPerMinute() );
        if ( page.title === 'Kittens' ) {
            // IF an item is marked as 
            collection.markSafe( page.id );
        }
    } );
