Support for files (URL, uploading user, etc)

[ghost]

Hiya, I was wondering if this project has a place for wrapping some file-related information.

Now, I forked this repository and added wrapping for a given file's URL, but I was wondering if this sort of functionality has enough merit and reason to add to the main project before I create a pull request.

I haven't added any tests yet, but if it'll be okay I'll go ahead and add some.
Thank you 🙂

I do think there is a place for file support in the base library. I would like to figure out how best to incorporate files into the library.

Some thoughts on the code you linked:

• What are you hoping to get out of the files? Just a listing of available files on the page?
• Is there a reason that a new class is needed? If so, I don't think we would need to base the mediawikifile class on the mediawikipage class but I haven't had time to think it through in-depth.
• Would it be easier to have a boolean property to say that the page is a file?
• In non-english versions, is the term that signals the page is a file always File:? I know that for categories it can be other words/terms/etc.

Thanks for starting this discussion. I am excited to see where this goes!
