mw wiki

Read and manage pages, files and extension data on MediaWiki wikis. Use wiki auth login to save a profile, then select it with –profile. A saved default profile is used when no profile is specified. Use –wiki to choose a site within the profile’s scope.

For one-off access, supply –username with –password or –password-file. Use –anon to bypass saved credentials.
