https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Client_code is among one of the most frequently visited pages in the API namespace on MediaWiki. The page contains an extensive listing of API client libraries. The page needs a complete review and update.
Recommendations:
- Review the lists of client libraries, and remove any that are no longer up-to-date
- Reduce the number of client libraries listed on this page. //This may be controversial//. Consider reducing the number of libraries listed per language, and/or point readers to a recommended library. This will reduce the amount of time visitors spend looking for appropriate information, ensure they are using a library that has been reviewed/recommended, and make it easier to review and update this page later. Additional options could be to reformat the page so that recommended libraries appear at the top of each section, or a link to additional options is provided for each section and leads to an overflow page.
- Make a choice between whether the lists will be formatted as tables or not. Currently, each section is formatted in different ways, making it hard to read.
- Additional content. I wrote a couple of sentences about what client libraries are and what they do. This may be enough contextualizing information. There are some notes at the bottom of this page about making API calls, which I updated slightly. However, I don't think this section is really needed because the page is mostly reference. Consider removing that section and subsections.
