});

wikipedia.revisions.all("Miles_Davis", { comment: true }, function(response) {

#Philosophy

The MediaWiki API is wonderfully permissive and horribly documented. This is a lightweight wrapper. In addition to providing a basic interface for making HTTP requests to the API, it bundles some requests so that one needn't bother with pagination and so forth.

#Under the Hood dial.js makes API requests, accepting parameters as an object, options as an object, and a callback.

#License This script is provided free and open-source under the MIT license. If you use it, you are politely encouraged to link to this repo.
