           Summary: Mention adding "g" on api.php
           Product: MediaWiki

(Note the above URL.)

Api.php should explicitly note that

> To set the generator parameters, you use a "g" in front.

It turns out this vital "Rosetta Stone" sentence is missing from api.php.

One might argue that it is probably in the manual. But please consider
that often one is experimenting offline, and a sentence so vital
should be right there on api.php.

Maybe add one example too.

Yes, api.php does have examples already, but nowhere do you explictly note the
function of the adding of the "g".
