There are actually 3 scripting documents in that wiki, please check again:

http://community.kde.org/Amarok/Development/Script_API
http://community.kde.org/Amarok/Development/Scripting_HowTo_2.0
http://community.kde.org/Amarok/Development/Scripted_Services_Tutorial_2.0

I know the API is not very complete, we welcome anybody who could help
us with that, it's just a lack of time by the developers this was
never extended until now.

I also strongly suggest you look at the existing scripts on
http://kde-apps.org for more hints.


Regards, Myriam

PS. I updated the documentation links, still trying to find some
missing elements right now
