Study how MediaWikiAnalysis works, and what the MediaWiki API offers, and find some information that the API is providing, but the tool is not collecting. Implement, at least partially, calls to that part of the API to retrieve and store that information in the tool database.

As this is a microtask of T89135 and not an individual tech-project of it's own that can be proposed in Outreachy/GSoC - I'm removing the Possible-Tech-Projects tag.

This task nowadays feels pretty vague to me. It's likely a good task for someone about to dive into the codebase anyway, but apart from that it sounds a bit like a task in search of a problem to solve. :)

I guess we better close this task. Now, data retrieval for MediaWiki is done with a Perceval backend, which probably gets all the needed information.

@jgbarah: Hah, thanks! I was not entirely sure about that. I'll close the remaining MediaWikiAnalysis tasks and updated the wikipage accordingly.
