  • mwclient

    Python client library to interface with the MediaWiki API

  • The wikis have the normal mediawiki api and this can be used to update pages. But paradox uses their own login system, so you either have to use a tool which can use a cookie(you login with a browser and take the cookie from the browser) or you have to implement the paradox login in your tool or you have to get an administrator to enable support for a bot password(I have asked for this, but didn't get a reply). I have a python tool which can mirror the eu4 wiki and update some images and do simple page updates and I extended mwclient to handle the paradox login. If there is interest in this, I could clean up my tool and publish it.

  • pyradox

    Python parser for Paradox .txt files. (by ajul)

  • There are also tools like pyradox, ck2utils(especially the esc subfolder), paradox-tools(I don't know if this one does anything for the wiki) and HairyDude's pdxparse (see also my fork) which can parse the game files and generate stuff for the wiki. This is usually then copy&pasted into the wiki, but I plan to change this with my tool. These tools all have support for eu4, but I never tried to search for tools for other games. If somebody knows tools for other paradox games, I would be interested in them.
