This is a BitBar plugin (supporting both SwiftBar and xbar) that displays unread watchlist entries on MediaWiki wikis.

Installing

1. Install SwiftBar or xbar.
   • If you're unsure which to install, I recommend SwiftBar, as this plugin has been tested with it.
   • If you have Homebrew, you can also install with brew install --cask swiftbar or brew install --cask xbar.
2. Install Rust.
   • If you have Homebrew, you can also install with brew install rust.
3. Install the plugin:

   cargo install --git=https://github.com/fenhl/bitbar-mediawiki-watchlist --branch=main

4. Create a symlink to ~/.cargo/bin/bitbar-mediawiki-watchlist in your SwiftBar/xbar plugin folder. Call it something like bitbar-mediawiki-watchlist.30s.o, where 30s is the rate at which the plugin will check for notifications.
5. At ~/.config/bitbar/plugins/mediawiki-watchlist.json, create a JSON file containing the following fields:
   • "wikis", an array of objects, one for each wiki whose watchlist you want to display, each with the following fields:
     • "displayName": a name for the wiki that will be displayed in the menu.
     • "apiUrl": The wiki's “api.php” URL, which can be found on the Special:Version page of the wiki, in section “Entry Point URLs”.
     • "indexUrl": The wiki's “index.php” URL, which can be found on the Special:Version page of the wiki, in section “Entry Point URLs”.
     • "username": Your username on the wiki.
     • "watchlistToken": Your watchlist token, which can be found on the “Watchlist” tab of the Special:Preferences page.
6. If you're using SwiftBar, the plugin should now appear in your menu bar. If it doesn't appear automatically, or if you're using xbar, refresh by opening a menu and pressing ⌘R.
