I've been refered to this list after asking this question on the Mediawiki-l list. Suppose we have a wiki, and we want other websites (blogs and any other kinds of sites) to use our wiki content. For example say the wiki has different types of random facts about countries. When someone visits a blog, they can see a box where that random fact is presented, and that data is drawn from the wiki. Whats the best way to do this? RSS? Is this kind of thing possible using Mediawiki API?

thanks Eric

I thought you already knew enough about it, given that you were looking the API docs. The way of embedding which you choose depends more on the embedder websites than from mediaiwiki.
