Hi @jeropbrenda, how do I check if the API documentation for the API I am working on is present in one of the main modules? And in case it is not present, what would the next steps be?
Also, can I delete a page in Sandbox? If yes, could you guide me on how to do it?

@Mumylulu123, you need to go to the 'Edit Source' option and figure out what content from the existing API page you can fit into the new API page you are creating, according to the template provided.

Hi @srishakatux, just a gentle reminder that I have updated my talk page. Please review it and provide feedback whenever you get the time to. :)
@Mumylulu123, you go to the "Edit Task" button at the top right of the page to claim an API page. Watch the "How to edit a task already created" video on the following page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help#Creating_a_task in case you get stuck. :)

Yes, the latter. Write code that demonstrates how to list pages that belong to a category, etc.
2.) I am merging the GET request and response sections. Is that alright?
Nope. If you look at the API:Documentation template, we've separate sections for Request and Response. If there are multiple requests on a page, then for each request create an example section like in [[ API:Parsing_wikitext | https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Parsing_wikitext ]]
3.) Is there any link to the demo app(s) for the API I have picked?
No, there is not. There could be one if you can come with an interesting idea and then plan to build it :-) See for reference demo app that I built for API:Search here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Search#Demo_app(s)
4.) What exactly is the information inside the "Categorymembers" box at the beginning of the page, on the right? Should I add that to additional notes?
Good question! I need to add a point about this in the documentation template. For now, you could use the format in API:Assert and embed only the version info and not the whole box.
I have populated the current information on my page. Should I take up other APIs that haven't been picked yet?
You could stick to one page first.. :-)

Hi everybody! I am Supriya from India and I am an Outreachy applicant as well. I have recently graduated from college (two months back) and I believe that now is the time to actually put the skills I learnt there to use. My skillset overlaps with that required for this project and so I am willing to contribute and learn from it.
