As you might have noticed, there have recently been many changes to MediaWiki API. This is in part due to my push for API 2.0<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/API_roadmap/Namin…up>, which will include API versioning, streamlined JSON-only result format, localized warnings and errors, naming cleanup<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/API_roadmap/N…up>, and many other changes. On top of that, there has been various proposals for content-oriented RESTful API (as oppose to SQL-like query API). To learn more or to participate in the planning or implementation, see proposed changes <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/API_Future> or contact me directly. * * There will be a conference<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Wikipedia_… New York tomorrow, Feb 23rd, at NYU. I intend to do an introductory API presentation there, partially covering some of the proposed changes. Please stop by if you want to discuss API, or just to say hi. *Important reminder to API users*: Please ensure you set the user agent string to contain both the name of your tool, the framework it uses, and a way to contact you. See User-Agent policy<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User-Agent_policy>cy>. API users that do not follow this policy may be banned at any moment.
