# Parse::MediaWikiDump::link(3pm)

Object representing a link from one article to another

## NAME

Parse::MediaWikiDump::link - Object representing a link from one article to another

## ABOUT

This object is used to access the data associated with each individual link between articles in a MediaWiki instance.

## 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.

## METHODS

- $link-\>from

  Returns the article id (not the name) that the link orginiates from.

- $link-\>namespace

  Returns the namespace id (not the name) that the link points to

- $link-\>to

  Returns the article title (not the id and not including the namespace) that the link points to
