Missing properties for last item in generator=prefixsearch queries
by Dmitry Talisman 04 Mar '15

Hi, Looks like a problem with generator=prefixsearch queries. Properties always missing for the last item (20th page in the examples below) in the returned results. I don’t see this issue for generator=geosearch. Here are the examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?redirects=1&exintro&gpssearch=New&gpslim… <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?redirects=1&exintro&gpssearch=New&gpslim…> https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?redirects=1&gpssearch=New&pithumbsize=10… <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?redirects=1&gpssearch=New&pithumbsize=10…> Thank you.

Possible bug in extracts API
by Dmitry Talisman 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

Hi, While working on my app I came across an issue with extracts that does not work for certain pages. The extracts is always empty. For example (Newark International Airport): http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&exchars=175&pa… <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&exchars=175&pa…> As a metter of fact, I could not find an airport page for which extract API would work. May be something is wrong ( or special ) with the airport template … Is this a known problem ? any workaround suggestions ? Thank you , Dmitry.
