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:

'''Discouraged:''' WebAuthn (Web Authentication) is a web standard published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). WebAuthn is a core component of the FIDO2 Project under the guidance of the FIDO Alliance. The goal of the project is to standardise an interface for authenticating users to web-based applications and services using public-key cryptography. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebAuthn Read more]. Please note that you will need to login to the same wiki where you originally registered your verification device. You also have to configure your browser to accept cookies from all the other sister wikis. If you do not know how to do this, you might not be able to login. This method is therefore not advisable for most users right now.

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).
