NAME
       Parse::MediaWikiDump::page - Object representing a specific revision of a MediaWiki page

ABOUT
       This object is returned from the "next" method of Parse::MediaWikiDump::Pages and Parse::MediaWikiDump::Revisions. You most likely will not
       be creating instances of this particular object yourself instead you use this object to access the information about a page in a MediaWiki
       instance.

SYNOPSIS
	 $pages = Parse::MediaWikiDump::Pages->new('pages-articles.xml');

	 #get all the records from the dump files, one record at a time
	 while(defined($page = $pages->next)) {
	   print "title '", $page->title, "' id ", $page->id, "
";
	 }

STATUS
       This software is being RETIRED - MediaWiki::DumpFile is the official successor to Parse::MediaWikiDump and includes a compatibility library
       called MediaWiki::DumpFile::Compat that is 100% API compatible and is a near perfect standin for this module. It is faster in all instances
       where it counts and is actively maintained. Any undocumented deviation of MediaWiki::DumpFile::Compat from Parse::MediaWikiDump is
       considered a bug and will be fixed.
