Why not use the always up-to-date API documentation returned by api.php itself? 
Rollback should be this doc-page:
http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=rollback

Maybe you can help us fixing the API documentation, so, if you know, how to do 
a rollback, you can fix the doc on mw.org (don't forget to update the MW 
version the doc page refers to).

Betreff: [Wikitech-l] rvtoken deprecated

Hello,

I am receiving lot of these warnings:

WARNING: API query (revisions): The rvtoken parameter has been deprecated.

According to current documentation for mediawiki at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Rollback which I follow, in order
to get a rvtoken I should use this query:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvtoken=rollback&titles=Main%20Page&format=xml

however that very query returns this warning. Is this a bug in
documentation? Why do you first deprecate things and then, ages later,
update the docs? Shouldn't it be the other way? Mediawiki has worst
backward compatibility support I have ever seen and this is one of the
reasons for it.

Thanks
