Main Page for the Wrecks project.

To make the content from Wrecks 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

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

like the previous, but with titles=Wrecks:foo& - title (of page) to query: Wrecks: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
