Adding ApiExplorer extension which uses the API to dynamically generate API documentation on Special:ApiExplorer. Depends on the JavascriptAPI extension (currently in Wikia codebase). Would be nice to make this extension able to be aware of the examples that api.php submits & even to let it submit the examples. Comment: I talked to MaxSem (who wrote ApiSandbox) and checked out the code just a bit. Unfortunately, I think the potential for code-reuse is fairly low since we approached it differently. ApiSandbox builds forms server-side to submit requests, while ApiExplorer uses introspection from the API (some of which is new) to build out the documentation (and hopefully to later use example urls for requests). It's kind of a bummer that the approaches aren't very compatible with each other. Thanks for the tip though :) _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
