}
```

## Use Cases

- **Historical award data**: Retrieve complete winner lists for award categories
- **Year-specific lookups**: Find who won in a specific year
- **Award comparisons**: Compare winners across categories
- **Data enrichment**: Supplement other data sources with award information

## API Details

This skill uses the Simple Wikipedia MediaWiki API:
- Endpoint: `https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/api.php`
- Actions used: `query`, `parse`, `opensearch`
- Response format: JSON
- No authentication required

## Limitations

1. **Content availability**: Only works with pages that exist on Simple Wikipedia
2. **Data format**: Requires award data in list format; table-based pages are not supported
3. **Simple Wikipedia**: Uses simplified content; for more detailed data, use the full Wikipedia API

## Error Handling

All errors are returned with consistent structure:

```python
{
    "success": False,
    "error": "Description of the error",
    "error_code": "ERROR_CODE"
}
```

**Error codes:**
- `MISSING_PARAM`: Required parameter missing
- `NOT_FOUND`: Page does not exist
- `TIMEOUT`: Request timed out
- `HTTP_ERROR`: HTTP error occurred
- `INTERNAL_ERROR`: Unexpected error

## Rate Limits

Simple Wikipedia has general rate limits:
- Recommended: 10 requests per second
- Burst: Up to 20 requests

The skill includes proper User-Agent identification and follows API best practices.

## Example Pages

Known award pages on Simple Wikipedia:
- `Grammy_Award_for_Best_Rap_Album`
- `Academy_Award_for_Best_Picture`
- `Academy_Award_for_Best_Actor`
- `Academy_Award_for_Best_Actress`
