A Wikipedia page, with the Wikidata link highlighted. Every Wikipedia article (and many other pages, such as templates) should have an ID on our sister project, Wikidata. The ID is a series of digits prefixed "Q", and so is referred to as a QID.. This page is a simple guide to finding that QID.
The Wikipedia web API accepts queries by URL. [5] One way to send a query to the API is by creating an external link (§ External links). For example, using an external link very much like a search link, you can send the API a request to list the link properties of "wp:example". It should interpret it correctly as "Wikipedia:Example", pageid ...

If two or more calls to {{}} use the same citation parameters, that is, if the author(s), year, and page number(s) are all identical, but there is some other difference, such as a use of pp= vs p=, or a use of ps= in one but not the other, this issue will arise.
For example, on English Wikipedia, the header is used to create a table of contents. The bottom of the information can be customised via MediaWiki:Pageinfo-footer. It is blank by default but can be set at each wiki. For example, on English Wikipedia, it is used to create an additional section "External tools".
For example, maybe you have a bot that publishes certain data to a Wiki page regularly, and you want your script to read that data. Careful with ctype. Set it to raw for normal Wiki pages, and application/json for pages where a template editor or admin has set the Content Model to JSON.
Bots can automate tasks and perform them much faster than humans. If you have a simple task that you need to perform lots of times (an example might be to add a template to all pages in a category with 1000 pages), then this is a task better suited to a bot than a human.
