.SH DESCRIPTION
Something like \f[B]wget\f[R](1) for downloading a file from MediaWiki
sites (like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons) using only the file name or
the URL of its description page.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\f[I]FILE\f[R]
The file to be downloaded.
If \f[I]FILE\f[R] is in the form \f[I]File:Example.jpg\f[R] or
\f[I]Image:Example.jpg\f[R], it will be fetched from the default site,
which is \[lq]commons.wikimedia.org\[rq].
If it\[cq]s the fully-qualified URL of a file description page, like
\f[I]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Example.jpg\f[R], the file is
fetched from the site in the URL, in this case
\[lq]en.wikipedia.org\[rq].
.TP
\f[I]BATCHFILE\f[R]
In batch download mode (activated with -\f[B]a\f[R] or
--\f[B]batch\f[R]), this is a text file containing multiple file names
or URLs to be downloaded, one per line.
If an error is encountered during download, execution stops immediately
and the offending filename is printed.
.TP
-\f[B]s\f[R], --\f[B]site\f[R] \f[I]SITE\f[R]
MediaWiki site to download from.
Will not have any effect if the full URL is given in the \f[I]FILE\f[R]
parameter.
.TP
-\f[B]p\f[R], --\f[B]path\f[R] \f[I]PATH\f[R]
Script path for the wiki, where \[lq]index.php\[rq] and
\[lq]api.php\[rq] live.
On Wikimedia sites, it\[cq]s \[lq]/w/\[rq], the default, but other sites
may use \[lq]/\[rq] or something else entirely.
.TP
--\f[B]username\f[R] \f[I]USERNAME\f[R]
Username for private wikis that require a login even for read access.
.TP
--\f[B]password\f[R] \f[I]PASSWORD\f[R]
Password for private wikis that require a login even for read access.
.TP
-\f[B]o\f[R], --\f[B]output\f[R] \f[I]OUTPUT\f[R]
By default, the output filename is the same as the remote filename
(without the File: or Image: prefix), but this can be changed with this
option.
.TP
-\f[B]l\f[R], --\f[B]logfile\f[R] \f[I]LOGFILE\f[R]
Specify a logfile, which will contain detailed information about the
download process.
If the logfile already exists, new log information is appended to it.
.TP
-\f[B]f\f[R], --\f[B]force\f[R]
Force overwritng of existing files.
.TP
-\f[B]a\f[R], --\f[B]batch\f[R]
If this flag is set, \f[B]wikiget\f[R] will run in batch download mode
(see \f[I]BATCHFILE\f[R]).
.TP
-\f[B]v\f[R], --\f[B]verbose\f[R]
Print additional information, such as the site used and the full URL of
the file.
Additional invocations will increase the level of detail.
.TP
-\f[B]q\f[R], --\f[B]quiet\f[R]
Silence warnings and minimize printed output.
.TP
-\f[B]h\f[R], --\f[B]help\f[R]
Print a brief summary of these options.
