=== Epic Earthkin Defender ===
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox good since its the sandbox, makes the sub-modules and parameters more obvious]
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Tutorial maybe should have started here]
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=help help from the mediawiki api's help call]
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query a mediawiki api sub-page on just query that's good]
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page main page mediawiki api]
* [http://wiki.nwnarelith.com/w/api.php?action=help&modules=main help from arelith's own outdated version of the mediwiki]


'''Bonus feats:''' The epic Earthkin Defender gains a bonus Epic class feat every three levels. In other words, at levels 13, 16, and 19.
Concepts


'''Epic Class feats:''' '''''Magebane''''', '''''Aegis''''', '''''Deterrence'''''
* <code>&action=query</code> > <code>&list=categorymembers</code> > <code>&cmtitle=Category:Spells</code>
** Seems to have better sorting than generator
** Creates a "cateogrymembers" sub-heading under the query
** Creates a list of the category members identified in the <code>&cmtitle=</code> parameter
** Doesn't update the details of those members based on query > <code>&prop=</code> parameters
** Has its own <code>&cmprop=</code> sub-property parameter to see more under each entry in the categorymembers section, more limited than <code>&prop=</code>
** <code>&cmprop=</code> is more focused on sorting the results: <code>&cmprop=ids|title|sortkey|sortkeyprefix|type|timestamp</code>
* <code>&action=query</code> > <code>&generator=categorymembers</code> > <code>&gcmtitle=Category:Spells</code>
** Doesn't create a seperate sub-heading under the query
** Replaces any <code>&titles=</code> pages that would normally show up as pages > 0, 1, 2, etc... under the query
** Essentially passes each page in the <code>&gcmtitle=</code> category page into the pages > 0, 1, 2, etc..., creating unique entries for each page under the query as if all the pages had been passed
** Since it just "populates" all the pages under the query, it does capture query > <code>&prop=transcludedin|templates|revisions|redirects|etc...</code> parameters across the whole generated list of pages
** Does also have its own <code>&cmprop=</code> which is smaller and also seems to be focused on sorting, but I've tested and this parameter doesn't work in this version of the Arelith wiki software


'''Unavailable epic feats:''' epic weapon specialization, outsider shape, construct shape, dragon shape, undead shape
Example API call on Arelith's mediawiki api:

** <code>/w/api.php?action=query</code> is a query action, can only have one action at a time

** <code>&generator=categorymembers</code> is a generator, rather than using list and then querying the specific page for its contents, get the details at the same time with a generator [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query#Generators see more on query & generators.] But, not positive on how this is different from list yet.

** <code>&gcmtype=page</code> so it just shows the pages in the generator category and not the sub-categories, can also filter with file, page, subcat -- or using cmnamespace specifically use the namespace like 14 is subcat, is part of [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query%2Bcategorymembers categorymembers]
