Hello. For example i would like to learn which pages redirects to this
particular page
The page is :
https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%BCrkiye_B%C3%BCy%C3%BCk_Millet_Meclisi
The pages redirect that page for example :
https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/TBMM
So i want to lern via API that TBMM redirects to actually Türkiye Büyük
Millet Meclisi
Which means TBMM is abbreviation of Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi
Also can i learn it is abbreviation or not by api?
Whoops! Meant to reply to list.

Hi Team,
Thanks for the great api provided for all the wiki info.
I am looking for a combination of right parameters which will return me most viewed pages with the page url, article snippet, thumbnail image url.
Hope you can help with this.
Thanks,
Anand
Dear MediaWiki developers,
I've tried to upload a picture to Commons using api.php, but the MediaWiki API help seems to be somewhat incomplete.
For mass uploads I would like to use my own tools or do you recommend using Vicuna or Commonist?
Yours sincerely.
