[Bug 72471] Using a generator together with a non-query module always uses new continue format
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72471 --- Comment #6 from Michael M. listenle...@gmail.com --- (In reply to Brad Jorsch from comment #5) If you're referring to the documentation on mediawiki.org, feel free to update that. I added [[mw:API:Query#Generators and continuation]]. Can you check that I didn't write anything wrong there? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72471 Brad Jorsch bjor...@wikimedia.org changed: What|Removed |Added Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #5 from Brad Jorsch bjor...@wikimedia.org --- (In reply to Michael M. from comment #3) continue is documented only for action=query, too. I see continue documented for action=purge, action=setnotificationtimestamp, and action=watch. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?modules=purge|setnotificationtimestamp|watch Since the requested documentation is already present in the auto-generated help output and we're not going to add rawcontinue to these other modules, I'm going to WONTFIX this.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72471 --- Comment #4 from Brad Jorsch bjor...@wikimedia.org --- (In reply to Michael M. from comment #3) Only when the continue becomes default, it will be consistent again. That's being worked on. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72471 --- Comment #3 from Michael M. listenle...@gmail.com --- (In reply to Brad Jorsch from comment #1) It's not clear what documentation you're asking for here. rawcontinue is documented for action=query because it exists there, while it's not documented elsewhere because it doesn't exist elsewhere. continue is documented only for action=query, too. [[mw:API:Query#Continuing_queries]] says: For backwards compatibility, clients must specify continue= in their initial queries to select this method., which is true for action=querygenerator=, but not for action=purge. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=queryprop=infogenerator=allpagesgapfrom=Agaplimit=2 and http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=purgegenerator=allpagesgapfrom=Agaplimit=2 to behave the same regarding continuation, and thus expecting a query-continue instead of continue for the action=purge request, too. The current behavior is inconsistent, making it easily possible to miss the continuation for non-query modules. Only when the continue becomes default, it will be consistent again. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72471 --- Comment #1 from Brad Jorsch bjor...@wikimedia.org --- For all existing non-query modules that use ApiPageSet, there's no functional difference between the raw continuation and the simplified continuation so an option for raw continuation was never added. It's not clear what documentation you're asking for here. rawcontinue is documented for action=query because it exists there, while it's not documented elsewhere because it doesn't exist elsewhere. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

(*)In my opinion there cannot be two or more continues, because there is no way to define a prop= which limit is exceeded and needs therefor its own continue (to complete the batch of titles from the generator module). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
