This Wiki has a [SOAP] source letting you grab the wiki source of a webpage. There's a [WSDL] file [describing this source | http://www.wlug.org.nz/phpwiki/soap.wsdl], and you can use [xmethods.net | http://www.xmethods.net/] to get [a human readable version of it | http://www.xmethods.net/ve2/WSDLAnalyzer.po;?wsdlurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wlug.org.nz%2Fphpwiki%2Fsoap.wsdl].
