Actually I got excited about Wikimedia projects, and I want to learn more in other to contribute to projects in it.

Hi @Aklapper i followed the link you gave me; creating a new pull request. It was very clear but i have a problem inputting my codes in my branch at the level of the ''bash'' command line. It accepts only the first line(#!/usr/bin/python3) and the line with the ''comments''. It doesnt recognises commands such as (import, URL, PARAMS, etc).....
Plz i need help!
ok @srishakatux i will. @Aklapper thanks for feedback
Sorry @srishakatux, i did some messy things in your git_repository, was struggling to contribute code in a pull request for review.
Please @Didicodes or @MichelleACodes for the steps on which u guys used to create a pull request (with your sample codes in them ) for review.
thanks for understanding!
Hello @Etonkovidova, im still waiting for the feedback of the task you gave me.
Now the next step 2. testing my manual test cases in the wikipedia.org/wiki...plz can u explain to me how it works on that web site ?
oki @Didicodes, thanks for feedback!
Hi @Aklapper and @srishakatux, I think i'm half way done, please check it out : https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Mumylulu123/Sandbox/API:Delete#
Question: Please how do i get 'response' for this post request example
api.php?action=delete&format=json&title=Main%20Page&token=123ABC&reason=Preparing%20for%20move
Hi @Didicodes please which softwares and programming languages do u use in modifying your codes ?
Thanks very much for feedback @Aklapper, with that link I can have accest to the source code of APi:Delete.
Hello Everyone, please i need help
yea sure.
In your sandbox page, u have a column called (user page), I think that is where u will paste the content (neccessary items) u copied from your API page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Flowthank.
Then now, editing the content of a wiki page, is found here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Editing_pages
To edit wiki pages as a visualEditor: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor (this is what i used, i used visual editing)
Lastly to insert tables to your wiki page if its neccesary(or if u wish): https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables
Hope it helps u!
Thanks very much for the links @Aklapper , they were very useful. I think i'm done with step 6 now. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Mumylulu123/Sandbox/API:Delete
ok @Aklapper, This is a link to the page im talking about: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Mumylulu123/Sandbox/API:Delete
thanks for feedback @Aklapper. My question was really generalised at that time because i was a little lost on how to begin step 6. But i have an idea now
Please, i will also need some steps to guide me on how to use Mediawiki API for delete_pages.
Thanks!
@srishakatux , @Aklapper, @pineappled_sun
Hello everyone, after creating a page on sandbox, please how do i fill the sandbox page with the template content(which i have seen already)?
Hi @Aklapper thanks for the feedback. But its not clear.
Let me ask a different question.
For step 2 (creating test cases) in task 1 (TemplateWizard), I have draft down some points in a spreadsheet attached below. I do not know if im on the right track?
Hi everybody! My name is Anita from Cameroon, an Applicant.
I have a question which goes to task 1(TemplateWizard), step 2; to Create test cases for different browsers.
Please anyone could help me out, either the mentor ( @Ryasmeen ) or applicants.
Thanks!!
Hi @pineappled_sun, thanks for your feedback it was very helpful!
Ok task T204612 is read and understood.
I also noticed a Microtask T205199 given by the mentor. Where we had to choose one task and work on. Almost all the API pages have been claimed except for the API: Parameter Information which I want to work on.
Please can someone explain to me step by step how you guys do to claim an API page, such that the name of the individual working on it appears on the column "Work in progress"?
Thanks!
Thanks very much Andre Klapper, I am greatful! Let me work on that right away.
Hello everybody! An Outreachy applicant called Anita from Cameroon. I really don't have much idea about the programming languages used for this project. But I am always ready and willing to learn. I have a question which goes to anyone who can help (mentor and or applicants too ): Please, How can I start contributing to this project? I.e please i wish to know the task available to work on.
Thanks!
