Review code snippets (PHP, Javascript & MediaWiki JS) around Action API for on-wiki documentation
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

As part of my GSoC project, I have developed sample code in PHP, Javascript, and MediaWiki JS to demonstrate the use of MediaWiki Action API modules. I want/seek review, valuable suggestions and feedback on the sample code format and accuracy :) I am sharing below one example each of a GET and POST request for a programming language. You can suggest your changes in a comment on this Phabricator task.

All these code samples will be shown in a tabbed window in all the API module pages on MediaWiki.org like in https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/API:Sandbox via a Gadget that is a work in progress.

From #wikimedia-cloud IRC
Oresrian: Jayprakash12345 for the PHP ones, you'll want to set a useragent as one of the curl options to properly identify your tool

regarding the PHP ones. Maybe you want to add a README file with requirements / instructions what users need to install. For example i had to apt-get install php-cli php-curl to make get_allpages.php work.

Also i think it would be nice if you can get them linked from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Tutorial somehow.
