comment Watch for changes to a section of a Wikipedia page
@AndersonGreen That's what the API is for. Though if all you want is the text, action=raw might be easier for you.

comment Watch for changes to a section of a Wikipedia page
@AndersonGreen Sure it would, but I don't know about any such script and I don't think it exists (but it's certainly possible I'm wrong about that).

comment Watch for changes to a section of a Wikipedia page
@JacobJanTuinstra Watching a page is relatively simple, since a change to a page can be easily identified in the database. If you want to watch a section, you need to parse the text of both versions of the page, find the section in both of them and diff it. And you also need some way to identify a section. It's well defined what creating, moving and deleting a page is, but it's not so clear when it comes to sections.

comment Find all pages on Wikipedia that redirect to a specific page
How do you want the results? Human-readable? Or machine-readable (e.g. XML)? Does it matter?

comment Redirect a section of a Wikipedia article to another article
@AndersonGreen Your question was “Is there any Wikipedia template that can be used to redirect a section of one article to another article?” If using a bot is okay for you, you should have said that.

comment Redirect a section of a Wikipedia article to another article
@Sparr I think you're just confused about what I meant by “source” and “target” (you call them “target” and “correct new page”, respectively).

comment How can I put the ToC at the top of the page, parallel to the first paragraph?
According to a guideline of the English Wikipedia, the lead section should not be more than four paragraphs long. You might consider adopting similar guideline on your wiki.

You could do that by using the SpecialPage_initList hook.

comment Specify the starting and ending point for a Wikipedia reference
A question is whether doing this would clutter up the code too much for little benefit.

comment Find when a phrase was added to a Wikipedia page
Using the XML dump is an overkill: you really don't need to download the complete revision history of all articles on Wikipedia just to search the history of one article.
