Even for a low-activity wiki, hosting & rendering many HQ image files takes significant resources and comes with high monthly server costs.
If you're able, please consider contributing to keep the site running to help support this independent, ad-free, fan-run site. Thank you!

Status: 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 the mediawiki-api-announce mailing list for notice of updates.
Erroneous requests: 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 API: Errors and warnings.
Testing: For ease of testing API requests, see Special:ApiSandbox.
