Hi, I said that I don't know how to do this correctly, so I can't fix the documentation. So no, I will not fix it, because I can't.
Regarding your suggestion, it might be a good idea, but apparently even the "always up-to-date" API documentation returned by api.php is outdated and its example queries produces warning about deprecated values. Just have a look at http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query%2Btokens which suggest http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=tokens which starts with a warning.
