Summary: Parameter to suppress help baggage with simple errors.
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.14-svn
Platform: All
URL: http://test.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=
jsonfm&list=logevents&leuser=NOSUCHUSER
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: API
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The error warning currently adds an additional 74k (15k gzipped) of text to a
query in the form of the help page. I often code for streamlineyness and
quickness especially in javascript run client-side on page loads, and when I
get an error I usually only care about the error itself, and the text of the
error is ignored.
Could a parameter be created to suppress the showing of help on error? Or
possibly this could be default behavior for format=json/jsonfm and some other
esoteric situations where the error is not even human readable, as in the
example.
