Is there a FAQ or more docs on MediaWiki's API? The info I found:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
seems minimal? My questions:
% I use snownews and need a single URL to see my watchlist on my favorite MediaWiki, but this fails w/ an "internal server error":
http://wiki.lspace.org/api.php?action=login&lgname=kellyterryjones&l...
I can get to my watchlist using:
curl -c cookies.txt -O 'http://wiki.lspace.org/api.php?action=login&lgname=kellyterryjones&l...
curl -b cookies.txt -O 'http://wiki.lspace.org/api.php?action=feedwatchlist'
but it's a two-step process, and that won't work w/ snownews.
% Can I edit pages w/ the MediaWiki API or is it for queries only?
% Is /query.php dead on newer Wikis? These URLs gives me 404 errors:
http://wiki.lspace.org/wiki/query.php?what=allpages http://wiki.lspace.org/query.php?what=allpages
even though the equivalent works on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/query.php?what=allpages
% How do I convice a MediaWiki that I'm a bot (and thus increase my aplimit)?
