This change only affects clients using the JSON, PHP, WDDX, PHP, TXT and
DBG formats. If you're using the XML or YAML formats, nothing will
change for you.
The list=backlinks, list=embeddedin and list=imageusage used to return
arrays with pageIDs as keys, duplicating information (those arrays also
contain the pageID). An example (in JSON):
{
"query": {
"backlinks": {
"1024": {
"pageid": "1024",
"ns": 1,
"title": "Talk:Anarcho-capitalism"
},
"1236": {
"pageid": "1236",
"ns": 1,
"title": "Talk:Algorithm"
}
}
}
}
After a complaint [1] about this behavior, it was changed in r39645 [2].
Like all other list= modules, backlinks and friends now return arrays
with 0, 1, 2, etc. as keys. In JSON this looks like:
{
"query": {
"backlinks": [
{
"pageid": "1024",
"ns": 1,
"title": "Talk:Anarcho-capitalism"
},
{
"pageid": "1236",
"ns": 1,
"title": "Talk:Algorithm"
}
]
}
}
