MediaWiki::API – Basic interface to the API, allowing scripts to automate editing and extraction of data from MediaWiki driven sites. MediaWiki::Bot – A fairly complete MediaWiki bot framework written in Perl. Provides a higher level of abstraction than MediaWiki::API. Plugins provide administrator and steward functionality.
This is the Guide to Scribbling. Scribbling, also known as Luafication, is the act of writing a template, or converting a template, so that it uses the Scribunto extension to MediaWiki . The Scribunto extension [ a ] was developed by Tim Starling and Victor Vasiliev , and allows for embedding scripting languages in MediaWiki.
The /sandbox may not have the latest version of the template code in it, so before you make a change, you need to synchronize it with the main template. Copy the entire contents of the main template to the /sandbox subpage, and save the page. Your edit summary should be something like "synchronize with the main template", or simply "sync".
An advanced API for interacting with Wikipedia content is being developed, large parts of which are already operational. The various possibilities are described at mw:API . The idea is to send an AJAX request (see below) to the API containing a query.
To get there, type "Template:foo" in the search box (see search), or make a wikilink like [[Template:foo]] somewhere, such as in the sandbox, and click on it. Once you are there, just click "edit" or "edit this page" at the very top of the page (not the documentation edit button lower down) and edit it in the same way that you would any other page.
