#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.
