http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php and http://radioscanningtw.jidanni.org/api.php should say there at the top what version of the API they are. That way one can know at a glance if they are different. Indeed, also add a link to [[Special:Version]]. P.S., #REDIRECThttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php This page is a soft redirect. Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Api.php" looks ugly in text browsers

Created attachment 5922 [details] link the version OK, I have figured it out, and made a patch. Otherwise it would be very hard for the average user to answer "what version of the API am I using?" As far as the Wikipedia problem, I will let it be.

Re-closing as WORKSFORME, people should read the parameter list or search for the word "version" instead of just reading the first paragraph and assuming it's not there. Parameters: [...] version - When showing help, include version for each module [...]
