Hello, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Revisions mentions "revision slots" multiple times, but fails to explain what it is?
I noticed that some queries that were running fine in the past now have warning: "Because "rvslots" was not specified, a legacy format has been used for the output. This format is deprecated, and in the future the new format will always be used." Which is interesting, but not very descriptive. What are revision slots? Why are they needed? What is difference between "legacy format" and "new format"? If rvslots are so important, why they aren't part of some of the examples? So far I googled this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Slot it seems like some new "work-in-progress" feature, that isn't very useful yet, as there is only 1 slot in existence. Is it necessary to pay attention to this? Can I simply silence this warning by providing parameter rvslots=*? Or should I pay it some deeper attention?
