            Bug ID: 48372
           Summary: Missing information in action=parse&prop=links
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.19
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: API

There is some information missing from result of the API call to
action=parse&prop=links

Example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&prop=links&format=json&text=[[foo]]%20[[API:Query|bar]]%20[[API:Query|other]]%20[http://www.example.com/%20baz]

The result of such call contains link list, but there is missing information:
- The text for each link would be useful for some bot actions
- The offset of the link should also be given

Each link may appear multiple times in the parsed wiki page, so the above
missing information would need to be repeated for each instance of the link.

For the JSON format the result for the above example would be:

{"parse":{"title":"API","links":[{"ns":0,"*":"Foo","exists":"",[{offset:0}]},{"ns":0,"*":"API:Query"},[{offset:8,text="bar"},{offset:26,text="other"}]]}}
