Issue viewing tables / Infoboxes

Open PurpShell opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Take for example the Minecraft Wiki: https://minecraft.fandom.com

As an example page: https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Crafting_Table

if you try to edit it, you can see the source and that it actually has infobox data:

somehow, if I use the tables method on the page, I don't get any data at all.

If I use the fullInfo method, it only returns the general infobox and not the others :thinking:

Yes, lots of pages return zero tables. For example:

  • All mma fighter records https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lando_Vannata
  • Many filmographies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Rudd_filmography

I guess these are custom template tables. The html output seems to be a standard <table class="wikitable" but looking in the wikipedia Editor I can see the source code varies, they use custom 'tags'.
