--- Comment #3 from Michael M. <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Brad Jorsch from comment #1) > It's not clear what documentation you're asking for here. "rawcontinue" is > documented for action=query because it exists there, while it's not > documented elsewhere because it doesn't exist elsewhere. "continue" is documented only for action=query, too. [[mw:API:Query#Continuing_queries]] says: "For backwards compatibility, clients must specify continue= in their initial queries to select this method.", which is true for action=query&generator=, but not for action=purge. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&generator=allpages&gapfrom=A&gaplimit=2 and http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=purge&generator=allpages&gapfrom=A&gaplimit=2 to behave the same regarding continuation, and thus expecting a "query-continue" instead of "continue" for the action=purge request, too. The current behavior is inconsistent, making it easily possible to miss the continuation for non-query modules. Only when the "continue" becomes default, it will be consistent again. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
