A partial answer would also be helpful (maybe some of my questions are
more tricky than others).
Thanks,

Hi,
I am wondering how errors and warnings are reported through the API, and
which errors and warnings are possible. There is some documentation on
Wikidata errors [1], but I could not find documentation on how the
warning messages are communicated in JSON. I have seen structures like
this:
{ "warnings" :
{"wbeditentity":
{"messages":
[{"name":"wikibase-self-conflict-patched",
"parameters":[],
"html": { "*":"Your edit was patched into the latest version,
overriding some of your own intermediate changes."}
}]
}
}
}
I don't know how to provoke more warnings, or multiple warnings in one
request, so I found it hard to guess how this pattern generalises. Some
questions:
* What is the purpose of the map with the "*" key? Which other keys but
"*" could this map have?
* The key "wbeditentity" points to a list. Is this supposed to encode
multiple warnings of this type?
* I guess the "name" is a message name, and "parameters" are message
"arguments" (as they are called in action="query") for the message?
* Is this the JSON pattern used in all warnings or can there also be
other responses from wbeditentity?
* Is this the JSON pattern used for warnings in all Wikibase actions or
can there also be other responses from other actions?
* Is there a list of relevant warning codes anywhere?
* Is there a list of relevant error codes anywhere? The docs in [1]
point to paraminfo (e.g.,
http://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=paraminfo&modules=wbeditentity)
but there are no errors mentioned there.
Thanks,
Markus
