Line 13:

Fetching a page content can be done using [[GET]].

<source lang="javascript">

$.ajax( {

$.get('example.php', function(data) {

url: 'example.php',

alert('The remote page contains:\n' + data);

$.get('example.php', success: function( data ) {

})

alert( 'The remote page contains:\n' + data );

.error(function() {

},

alert('The query returned an error.');

error: function( ) {

});

alert( 'The query returned an error.' );

}

} );

</source>

===Edit a page and other common actions===

Line 25 ⟶ 28:

The code below shows how to edit a page, but it can easily be adapted to other actions by reading the [{{SERVER}}/w/api.php API documentation].

<source lang="javascript">

$.getJSONajax({

url: mw.util.wikiScript( 'api' ), {

dataType: 'json',

data: {

format: 'json',

action: 'query',

Line 34 ⟶ 39:

titles: 'Whatever'

},

success: function( data ) {

var token = data.query.pages[ data.query.pageids[0] ].edittoken;

edit_page(token);

},

. error(: function() {

alert( 'The token query returned an error. =(' );

}

).error(function() {

alert( 'The token query returned an error. =(' );

});

Line 46 ⟶ 52:

var mySandbox = 'User:' + mw.config.get( 'wgUserName' ) + '/Sandbox';

$.postajax({

type: 'POST',

url: mw.util.wikiScript( 'api' ), {

data: {

action: 'edit',

title: mySandbox,

Line 54 ⟶ 62:

token: token

},

success: function() {

alert( 'Page edited!' );

},

). error(: function() {

alert( 'The edit query returned an error. =(' );

}

).error(function() {

alert( 'The edit query returned an error. =(' );

});

}

</source>
