Bug ID: 56860
Summary: Improve documentation of API's "dir" parameter
Product: MediaWiki

Go to
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
and search for "dir " (with the space). There will be 43 results. Of these,
only a few (9 results) have an explanation of the meaning of "newer" and
"older", like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------
rvdir - In which direction to enumerate (enum)
newer - List oldest first. Note: rvstart has to be before rvend.
older - List newest first (default). Note: rvstart has to be later than
rvend.
One value: newer, older
Default: older
---------------------------------------------------------------
The others are documented like so:
---------------------------------------------------------------
afldir - The direction in which to enumerate
One value: newer, older
Default: older
---------------------------------------------------------------
This could be improved to match the first example above.
It seems includes/api/ApiQueryBase.php has a function getDirectionDescription
to help with this.
