This week and next week, I'm aiming to work on improving the
documentation and tutorials for MediaWiki's web service API. I've
already gotten a volunteer to redo
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page
and am aiming on getting volunteers to improve the rest of the API:
pages on mediawiki.org in the next few weeks. Now would be a great time
for you to put feedback and "I wish this covered...." notes on Talk pages.
Also, Max Semenik wrote a new GUI tool to help newbies explore the
MediaWiki API. It's called the API Query Sandbox. You can try it here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox
and an improved version (not yet deployed) here:
http://mobile-feeds.wmflabs.org/w/index.php/Special:ApiSandbox
Please file bugs and enhancement requests in bugzilla.wikimedia.org
(Product: MediaWiki extensions, Component: ApiSandbox). We want to make
this better.
Thanks!
