Hi, researchers! I know some of you use the MediaWiki API for your
work. I thought you might want to know about the new query sandbox
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox
which lets you use a GUI to create an API call, play around, and figure
out how to use the API in your tool or application.
Also, we're looking to improve the documentation, so I want to
encourage you to update or critique the instructions here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Quick_start_guide
and on related pages. Thanks!
