Bug #: 40283
Summary: API retrieval of links from a page does not work with
DPL
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: API
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected],
[email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When using the API to retrieve links within a page, it does not parse the
contents of any DPL included within the page and return links listed within the
DPL.
Examples:
1.
https://en.wikinews.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=links&titles=Main%20Page&plnamespace=0&pllimit=500
This retrieves all main namespace pages linked-to from the Wikinews main page,
but not those which are listed by using a DPL.
Note that [[n:Samoa looking ahead to Rio Paralympics with eye on powerlifting]]
is not returned by the API, but listed in the main headlines DPL and the
original reporting DPL.
2.
https://en.wikinews.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=links&titles=User%3ANewsieBot%2FArticleWatch&plnamespace=0&pllimit=500
Nothing is returned in the list of links. The page (see view source) is simply
a DPL.
