Is it possible to add my own rvprop=... for prop=revisions?
by Andrew Dunbar 10 Aug '08

I know a MediaWiki extension can add its own api.php action=... but can I add my own rvprop=... for action=query&prop=revisions? I'd like to experient with creating some Wiktionary-specific APIs that can parse the article format and return grammatical information on words. Andrew Dunbar (hippietrail)

Totals of loggable actions?
by Brianna Laugher 10 Aug '08

Hi, Would it be possible to add to the API, the ability to report totals of particular log actions over given time periods? Actions: un/protect, un/block, file upload, page creation, un/deletion, un/assigning user rights, move, user creation, user rename. It could be fixed time periods (eg days, weeks, months) if constantly calculating them for arbitrary time periods was considered too intensive. I often only want totals and having to page through results with heaps of detail I don't care about is a drag. For example, I would like to see the user creation totals on Commons, to see the effect of SUL. cheers Brianna -- They've just been waiting in a mountain for the right moment: http://modernthings.org/
