Hi @Addshore,

Can I republish the addwiki/mediawiki-api library on github, because I need to reprogram the library and add features that will help me in my projects? -- Gerges (talk) 13:20, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey hey,

Sure, feel free to fork it! The code itself is currently maintained in https://github.com/addwiki/addwiki/tree/main/packages/mediawiki-api

Any issues let me know, feel free to @ me on Github.·addshore· ^{talk to me!} 17:10, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
