<syntaxhighlight lang="bash" style="overflow:auto;">

</syntaxhighlight>

<translate>
<!--T:28-->
The above will edit the page <code>Page_I_want_to_edit</code> (marking the edit minor) so it contains the contents of the file ''file_containing_wikitext'' using the edit summary ''Quick edit''.
</translate>

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash" style="overflow:auto;">
php maintenance/run.php getText "page_title" | sed -e 's/\bfoo\b/bar/g' | php maintenance/run.php edit "page_title"
</syntaxhighlight>

<translate><!--T:29--> The above will take the text of the page <code>page_title</code> from your wiki, replace  every occurrence of the word ''foo'' with the word ''bar'', and save the result back to the page <code>page_title</code>.</translate>
<translate><!--T:32--> You can do many complex text transformations of page text this way; see your unix manual's entry for [[w:sed|sed]].</translate>
