Bug #: 29237
Summary: add interwiki target url attribute to
api/query/interwiki
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: API
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Please return the target url if a title contains an interwiki prefix like
prop=langlinks&llurl=1 does.
At the momment it it not always possible to know the target url of an interwiki
link. For language links llurl can be used which solves the problem.
/api/query/interwiki only contains the interwiki prefix (@iw) without an
possibility to request the url. Not all prefix are contained in the sitematrix
(see bug 28743 / bug 19838), so there is no other sure possibility the build
the url of the interwikitarget by your own.
My suggestion would be to add a new parameter interwikiurl, so that
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=en:Main%20Page&redirects=&interwikiurl=1
returns
<api>
<query>
<interwiki>
<i title="en:Main Page" iw="en" iwurl="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main
Page"/>
</interwiki>
</query>
</api>
New the iwurl attributes should return the same value like
/api/query/pages/page/langlinks/ll/@url on querying prop=langlinks&url=1
