<p><strong>Status:</strong> The MediaWiki API is a mature and stable interface that is actively supported and improved. While we try to avoid it, we may occasionally need to make breaking changes; subscribe to <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-api-announce/">the mediawiki-api-announce mailing list</a> for notice of updates.
 
−
</p><p><strong>Erroneous requests:</strong> When erroneous requests are sent to the API, an HTTP header will be sent with the key "MediaWiki-API-Error" and then both the value of the header and the error code sent back will be set to the same value. For more information see <a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/API:Errors_and_warnings" class="extiw" title="mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Errors and warnings">API: Errors and warnings</a>.

<h3 class="apihelp-header"><span id="main/templatedparams"></span><span class="mw-headline" id="main.2Ftemplatedparams">Templated parameters</span></h3><p>Templated parameters support cases where an API module needs a value for each value of some other parameter. For example, if there were an API module to request fruit, it might have a parameter <var>fruits</var> to specify which fruits are being requested and a templated parameter <var>{fruit}-quantity</var> to specify how many of each fruit to request. An API client that wants 1 apple, 5 bananas, and 20 strawberries could then make a request like <kbd>fruits=apples|bananas|strawberries&amp;apples-quantity=1&amp;bananas-quantity=5&amp;strawberries-quantity=20</kbd>.
