Redesign database/api home page #4964

Description

@AndrewVSutherland

The page https://www.lmfdb.org/api/ plays a key role for LMFDB developers and LMFDB users who want to access the raw data, so it would be worth spending some time thinking carefully about its layout/design. Some possible improvements:

  • There is a lot of detailed explanation at the top that would be better presented in knowls.
  • The collections should be explained (e.g. what hwgca stands for), including the relationship between tables in a collection, perhaps in a knowl.
  • By default only tables that are actually in use should be shown (so don't list the table "test_blah"), but there should be a way to see all tables when needed.
  • A link to the stats page should be provided.
