Summary: YAML output should quote asterisk when used as key
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
URL: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?titles=Nordsee&prop=ex
tlinks&action=query&format=yamlfm
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: API
AssignedTo: roan.katt...@gmail.com
ReportedBy: bjo...@hoehrmann.de

In the API's YAML output, asterisks are used as keys without quoting them, for
example:
extlinks:
-
*: |

This causes problems with some parsers (e.g. PyYAML), it should instead be
something like
extlinks:
-
'*': |
