Main Page for the Wrechs project.

To make the content from Wrechs independent from the rest of the Publication Station of the wiki, always use the namespace Wreck: on the pages you create for the project.

To create pages use the following syntax: [[Wreck:mypage]] which will translate onto [[Namespace:title of the page]], and result onto page (links), such as the following:

Wrecks:foo

Wrecks:mypage



Using the API

Note: To be able to read the API responses in your browser you can install a JSON reading extension on the browser.

A few examples on how to get Wrechs content from the wiki.

All the pages under the Wrechs namespace: http://publicationstation.wdka.hro.nl/wiki/api.php?format=json&action=query&list=allpages&apnamespace=202

http://publicationstation.wdka.hro.nl/wiki/api.php? - the address of the API + ?
format=json& - the format in which the information with appear: JSON 
action=query& - the action asked from the API: query
list=allpages& - what to query: a list of all the pages 
apnamespace=202 - from all pages get only namespace with Namespace id = 202, which is the Namespace Wrechs    
& - a division between the different statements.

The content of the page Wrechs:foo: http://publicationstation.wdka.hro.nl/wiki/api.php?format=json&action=query&titles=Wrechs:foo&prop=revisions&rvprop=content

like the previous, but with

titles=Wrechs:foo& - title (of page) to query:  Wrechs:foo
prop=revisions&rvprop=content&  - from the property revisions get the the content (rvprop=content) of the most recent revision of 


The content of the page on the Nyan cat from English wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=json&action=query&titles=Nyan_Cat&prop=revisions&rvprop=content

See how similar the API address is similar to the the one from the page Wrechs:foo the only difference is the in base-address (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/) and on the title of the page (titles=Nyan_Cat)
