Hi everyone. Looking at this page:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit
There are many parameters that can be set when sending an HTTP POST
with the intention of doing an edit. Do all of the parameters go in
the URL? Can I shift some of them into the HTTP POST in the body of
the request?
In particular, where does the new text go? Does that go as a form item
in the body of the request?
Any combination of the two is fine: the API doesn't care whether a
parameter is in a query string or in the POST body. Of course, it's
wise to put things like the new text in the POST body to avoid hitting
URL length limits.
