 mw.create('PageTitle', 'Hello world!', :summary => 'My first page')

== Status

This gem is no longer in active development.  Bugs will be fixed if reported, and pull requests that add new features are more than welcome, but asking for new features is unlikely to make them materialize out of thin air.
