The best solution is as I outlined in comment 3, but that's far from an easy bug since it requires major architectural changes throughout the API classes. In that case i'll remove keyword easy so no other newbies misinterpret it and start working on it. I'll keep following this space so later whenever you decide to work on it i can contribute as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63211 --- Comment #10 from kishanio thobhanikis...@gmail.com --- WRT Brad Jorsch comment on gerrit, I need to put some identifier in to map actions format in ApiFormatBase.php hyperlink it. Right now we are using '*' to bold things and likewise i used % for format %% for action. I don't why i picked it. But somehow foolishly with same thought it just breaks things in requests like api.php?action=parsetext=%25%25footitle=Fooprop=wikitext.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63211 --- Comment #6 from Brad Jorsch bjor...@wikimedia.org --- (In reply to MZMcBride from comment #5) *nod* Though I wonder how much of this would overlap with [[mw:API:Main page]] There is some overlap. But I'm not considering changing the information available via api.php, just improving the formatting. So api.php would remain more of a programmer's quick reference while [[mw:API:Main page]] would remain more in-depth with explained examples. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63211 --- Comment #5 from MZMcBride b...@mzmcbride.com --- (In reply to Brad Jorsch from comment #3) There has been some discussion (although I don't remember if any of it was public rather than just people talking to me) about reworking the default auto-generated help page to be actual HTML rather than the weird HTML/text/XML hybrid that it is now. *nod* Though I wonder how much of this would overlap with [[mw:API:Main page]] and [[mw:Special:ApiSandbox]]. There are definitely plenty of good ideas to consider and explore here. (In reply to db from comment #4) That should be enough. For example: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?modules=tokens|query+info I think this currently has very poor discoverability. I think we can improve the API user experience by adding anchor links and/or links to module-specific help pages in the current weird HTML/text/XML hybrid output, at least as an interim solution. If the whole output gets rewritten, this enhancement request will likely become moot. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63211 --- Comment #3 from Brad Jorsch bjor...@wikimedia.org --- There has been some discussion (although I don't remember if any of it was public rather than just people talking to me) about reworking the default auto-generated help page to be actual HTML rather than the weird HTML/text/XML hybrid that it is now. The general idea would be that the landing page would give some general information and list the action modules as links somehow or other, and clicking the link for one would give you the help for just that module (and something like action=query would have the same setup for its submodules). There would also be a one-huge-page mode for printing or Ctrl-F searching. This would, of course, probably require some changes to the architecture of the existing API modules, to the point where it's probably something of a big project. And for maximum benefit it would ideally be integrated into i18n of the API so the help could be generated in non-English languages, which is itself a big project. These sorts of API-related projects may be my next project to work on. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63211 --- Comment #2 from MZMcBride b...@mzmcbride.com --- (In reply to Sam Reed (reedy) from comment #1) Perhaps you're thinking of bug 19721 (found via bug 26990)? I'd forgotten about bug 19721. I still think anchors would be helpful in the full Web API help output, but as an alternate idea, I'd accept including _links_ to the module-specific help pages from the main help page next to each module. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
