Get
first 5 revisions of the "Main Page" that were made by the user
"MediaWiki default"
 
api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&titles=Main%20Page&rvlimit=5&rvprop=timestamp|user|comment&rvuser=MediaWiki%20default"

Is not pretty. Using an encoded \n between a list of strings

As such, when implemeting help urls, I switched it to be like

        <helpurls>         
<helpurl>http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Properties#revisions_.2F_rv</helpurl>
        </helpurls>


As such, I know changing from the (crappy) inline attribute, to a list of
elements is a "breaking change", how about doing both (?) for a while, and then
sometime in the future, drop the nasty way?

I know it's not so much of a breaking change, as it's not parameter renaming,
but it is a format change
