That's something we're hoping to improve. :) Among other things, we're
currently in the process of adding phpdoc comments to the code from
which internal API documentation is generated.
One of the things I've been trying to do as I touch various modules is
to separate the 'work' and 'user interface' components to make things
more modular and improve code reuse. (One tiny example:
Special:Undelete calls into the Special:Log code to pull out and format
log fragments relating to the selected page.)
