--- Comment #3 from John Mark Vandenberg <[email protected]> --- Please allow a client to fetch siteinfo siprop=general field generator (version) without version specific behaviour! It should _never_ appear in the second response chunk (for a request of only 'general') unless the sysadmin has misconfigured their server, very badly. Having to add 'continue' (v1.21+) to the request, or 'rawcontinue' (1.24+?) , in order to avoid a warning in 1.25 and an error proposed for 1.26 isnt nice. Older generators return an error (no data) if there is a request parameter that it doesnt understand, so we cant blindly add 'continue' to a request for the generator version. This wouldnt be so much of an issue, if the warning was machine readable, as it could be ignored if the generator is 1.25ish. But it is not machine readable. It is just a chunk of random English words, not even using the keyword 'deprecated'. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Talk:Requests_for_comment/API_roadmap/Deprecation_codes -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
