Hello list,
I'm new to WikiMedia in general, and have been given the task to extend to API. We have created a SpecialPage that performs the actions desired, but we need to be able to access the output in XML, via the API. I have been looking for a good tutorial on creating API extensions and have come up empty handed.
Do you (any of you) know of a good resource for sample code or a tutorial? The general API documentation is good (though daunting) for making use of existing API calls, but what little information I did find (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Calling_internally) is limited on creating a new API extension, especially when mimicking output of a 3rd party extension or custom written Special Page.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance!
