TASK DESCRIPTION
**Steps to replicate the issue** (include links if applicable):
- Use API via pywikibot in a way that requires continuation (via the continue
parameter)
- Example script:
import pywikibot as pwb
site = pwb.Site('wikidata', 'wikidata')
cat = pwb.Category(site, 'Wikidata status updates')
payload = list(cat.articles(namespaces=4, sortby='timestamp', reverse=True))
**What happens?**:
pywikibot.exceptions.APIError is raised
WARNING: API error badcontinue: Invalid continue param. You should pass the
original value returned by the previous query.

for notice of API deprecations and breaking changes.]
CRITICAL: Exiting due to uncaught exception <class
'pywikibot.exceptions.APIError'>
**What should have happened instead?**:
- API interaction should not result in an error
**Software version** (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
- Using pywikibot revision af8d9fe98
<https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot/commit/af8d9fe98a96cbb52e1cb8a8ce62f92b12a54d68>
from yesterday evening
**Other information** (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
- Check whether this is related to
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/851144/ from T321265
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T321265> since the API now requires a valid
timestamp to be handed over, rather than just a string which may or may not be
a valid timestamp.
