This is not implemented right now, but should be easy
to add. I've
filed it at
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/29221
Thanks, Roan. It will be a helpful addition.

In addition to old_revid, would it make sense to add type, logid, logtype,
and logaction to the watchlist response? This would bring the watchlist in
line with recentchanges, rcprop=loginfo

Hi all,
Why are locked users can log in via the API? Would have expected that the
users get back the status blocked. It says so in any case in the
documentation. I have a standard SVN installation without extensions or
other modifications. Can anyone confirm this? Below the query and the result
comes from unit testing. It looks like get, but in reality it is a post
request.

g02&lgpassword=xxxxx&lgtoken=05b7b7fc4d5d18e389520d5e3ba7f0c2
<?xml version="1.0"?><api
xmlns="http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/api/"><login
result="Success" lguserid="3" lgusername="Unittesting02"
lgtoken="ef8fc0d6e4f463e3b2c8d1716d306f5f" cookieprefix="mw_ut_19a"
sessionid="2bce1ed6a491fe957894bab610b77ae4" /></api>
The user is really blocked, like the log says.

I forgot to configure something or is this by design and the documentation
is wrong?
Best regards

Blocked users can log in just fine,
both via the UI and the API.
However, they can't edit or move pages or change anything in any other
way, except if $wgBlockAllowsUTEdit is set to true, in which case
blocked users can edit their own user talk page (usually to appeal the
block and present arguments and evidence in their favor).

I've been refered to this list after asking this question on the Mediawiki-l
list.
Suppose we have a wiki, and we want other websites (blogs and any other
kinds of sites) to use our wiki content. For example say the wiki has
different types of random facts about countries. When someone visits a blog,
they can see a box where that random fact is presented, and that data is
drawn from the wiki.
Whats the best way to do this? RSS? Is this kind of thing possible using
Mediawiki API?
?
thanks
Eric
