Petr, make sure you require users to set their *User-Agent* string. Your library should not use any defaults.
For the examples I would recommend this *User-Agent:*
*MyCoolTool/1.1 (http://example.com/MyCoolTool/; MyCoolTool@example.com) LinqToWiki/1.0*
See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page#Identifying_your_client

I'd like to introduce LinqToWiki: a new library for accessing the MediaWiki API from .Net languages (e.g. C#). Its main advantage is that it knows the API and is strongly-typed, which means autocompletion works on API modules, module parameters and result properties and correctness is checked at compile time.
More information is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Svick/LinqToWiki.
Any comments are welcome.
