Thank you for all the inputs. I have documented an abstract version here,
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Proofread_Page#API_Documentation_.26_Improvement At some places i have placed <Need more input pointer> so if anyone has any knowledge about same, please fill in it would be really great if we can document as much as we can with more perspective. Examples & information in this section right now is more or less referenced from http://wikisource.org/w/api.php You can shoot your views in here too. I’ll take care to cross reference it in the draft. I would like everyone to have a look at TBTs thoughts here, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Proofread_Page#w.r.t_IRC_chat TBT suggest we should specify format specification of how we format output. Currently prp just supports wikitext. If you anyone would like to expand on this point or give some view on TBT point that would be great. Over a brief conversation with TBT, he also suggested that we should serialise output in JSON format? Thank you TBT for this. @gaurav vadia > You can do a lot with ProofreadPage without any new APIs.

That’s the only idea I have for now! Do you think it would be possible to create a small example of same in terms of proofread hooks? It could be just API calls. So that we can mention it in example sections. @ thomas tanon > Feel free to start a page describing what the two API hooks do with a simple > example as it's done in pages like [0].

Yes i have created an section on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Proofread_Page#API_Documentation_.26_Improvement but it needs massive improvements. Im still not sure about parameters. But there is likely that there as an scope to improve on API and provide more flexibility if we start here.
