Bug ID: 58627
Summary: action=parse&prop=langlinks should provide language
names
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: API
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Reporter: listenle...@gmail.com
CC: bjor...@wikimedia.org, bryan.tongm...@gmail.com,

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Currently action=parse&prop=langlinks returns something like
{
"lang": "de",
"url": "https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo";,
"*": "Foo"
}
which is not a real substitute for the deprecated languageshtml, as you need a
second request or a static list to get a useful text/tooltip for the link. The
API should add the name of the language (in that language and in the user's
language) to the result, i.e.
{
"lang": "de",
"langname": "German",
"autonym": "Deutsch",
"url": "https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo";,
"*": "Foo"
}
