Summary: API: paraminfo error with userrights module
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.17-svn
Platform: All
URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=paraminfo&mod
ules=userrights
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: API

Using action=paraminfo on the userrights module:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=paraminfo&modules=userrights
gives the error "The user parameter must be set", as though action=userrights
had been called directly. The query works if a 'user' parameter is given -- any
user, so long as they exist:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=paraminfo&modules=userrights&user=User
However, the output of paraminfo is not dependent on this parameter, so it
should not be a requirement. No other modules seem to exhibit this behavior;
for example
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=paraminfo&modules=edit
works correctly, even though the edit module has required parameters.
