To help address the “creating new pages for IF works on IFWiki” part of this issue, I’ve been working on my first ever Python project: a script to gather info from IFDB and create stubs in a text file which can then be pasted into IFWiki. It’s rough. Definitely use it at your own risk because I don’t know what I’m doing. But it’s a start.
To use it, you need to create a text file that contains URLs, one per line. Each URL needs to be either an IFDB page for a single work, or an IFDB page that links to single-work IFDB pages (for instance, you could list the url of a page of search results). In the second case, it’ll look for links on that page to follow. I’m considering taking that option out because I’m not sure what risks are involved or how to put safeguards in, but it does make it a lot more convenient. (There’s more info in the file.)
Help/suggestions appreciated. I’ve attached this as a text file because .py isn’t allowed.
