Petr, make sure you require users to set their User-Agent string. Your library should not use any defaults.

For the examples I would recommend this User-Agent:

MyCoolTool/1.1 (http://example.com/MyCoolTool/; MyCoolTool@example.com) LinqToWiki/1.0

See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page#Identifying_your_client

I'd like to introduce LinqToWiki: a new library for accessing the
MediaWiki API from .Net languages (e.g. C#).
Its main advantage is that it knows the API and is strongly-typed,
which means autocompletion works on API modules, module parameters and
result properties and correctness is checked at compile time.

More information is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Svick/LinqToWiki.

Any comments are welcome.
