Miraheze runs the same software as Wikipedia, [https://www.mediawiki.org|MediaWiki]! You can do anything from uploading media such as images or videos, to writing articles or blogs. We have over 300 extensions and over 25 skins to choose from to customise your experience with MediaWiki!

Displays a list of all default and localised settings that are relevant to the Semantic MediaWiki environment. For details on individual settings, please consult the [https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Configuration configuration] help page.

The MediaWiki template may have a <code>permission</code> parameter; when it does, an attempt to detect the copyright licence based on the metadata value can be made. GWToolset looks for Creative Commons URLs that match possible copyright licences; e.g., https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ matches the MediaWiki licence template <code>{{tl|Template:Cc-by-sa-3.0}}</code>. If this checkbox is left unchecked, the raw metadata value for each item in the batch upload will be placed in the permission parameter.

Input to MediaWiki should be NFC-normalised UTF-8. MediaWiki may attempt to convert other input, but this may cause some operations (such as [[Special:ApiHelp/edit|edits]] with MD5 checks) to fail.

Parameters that take multiple values are normally submitted with the values separated using the pipe character, e.g. <kbd>param=value1|value2</kbd> or <kbd>param=value1%7Cvalue2</kbd>. If a value must contain the pipe character, use U+001F (Unit Separator) as the separator ''and'' prefix the value with U+001F, e.g. <kbd>param=%1Fvalue1%1Fvalue2</kbd>.

Some parameter types in API requests need further explanation:

Or you can specific a global licence below that will be applied to all items in the batch upload. This value can be a free text value or a MediaWiki template. If this field has a value in it then any metadata value mapped to the permission parameter will be ignored.

Developers should use the form below to request a token for a new OAuth 2.0 client (see the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:OAuth extension documentation] for more details). After submitting this form, you will receive a token that your application will use to identify itself to MediaWiki. Depending on what capabilities you request, an OAuth administrator might need to approve your application before it can be authorised by other users.

A few recommendations and remarks:
* Try to use as few scopes as possible. Avoid scopes that are not actually needed now.
* Versions are of the form "major.minor.release" (the last two being optional) and increase as scope changes are needed.
* You can use a project ID to restrict the consumer to a single project on this site (use "*" for all projects).

Developers should use the form below to propose a new OAuth 1.0a consumer (see the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:OAuth extension documentation] for more details). After submitting this form, you will receive a token that your application will use to identify itself to MediaWiki. Depending on what capabilities you request, an OAuth administrator might need to approve your application before it can be authorised by other users.

A few recommendations and remarks:
* Try to use as few grants as possible. Avoid grants that are not actually needed now.
* Versions are of the form "major.minor.release" (the last two being optional) and increase as grant changes are needed.
* Please provide a public RSA key (in PEM format) if possible; otherwise a (less secure) secret token will have to be used.
* You can use a project ID to restrict the consumer to a single project on this site (use "*" for all projects).
