After being submitted via the API are edits automatically parsed, if not
the relevant tables would not get updated.  One of the beauties of the
API is that you don't have to wait for the page to be parsed which takes
a considerable amount of time, but without it things don't get filled
in.  Instantiating a parser object and using it to parse the page should
be all that is needed, the return value obviously needn't be output so
can simply be discarded.
