            Bug ID: 72471
           Summary: Using a generator together with a non-query module
                    always uses new continue format
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: API

When you use a generator together with a non-query module that can work on a
list of pages (e.g. purge), the new continue format is always used, the
parameter rawcontinue is unknown:

http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=purge&generator=allpages&gapfrom=A&gaplimit=2&rawcontinue=1

Both add "continue" as continuation data, the second warns about the fact that
rawcontinue is unknown.

As the continuation data was only added after the new continue format existed
(bug 60734), I'm not sure whether this really is a bug, but at least it's not
documented.
