When list=allusers is used with auactiveusers, a property 'recenteditcount'
is returned in the result. In bug 67301[1] it was pointed out that this
property is including various other logged actions, and so should really be
named something like "recentactions".
Gerrit change 130093,[2] merged today, adds the "recentactions" result
property. "recenteditcount" is also returned for backwards compatability,
but will be removed at some point during the MediaWiki 1.25 development
cycle.
Any clients using this property should be updated to use the new property
name. The new property will be available on WMF wikis with 1.24wmf12, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.24/Roadmap for the schedule.

Hi Everyone,
Over the last few months, the Wikimedia Developer Advocacy team has been
working to improve technical documentation for the MediaWiki Action API
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page>.
So far, we have:
- Started efforts to revise, simplify, and reorganize the MediaWiki
Action API pages on MediaWiki using a new documentation template for
sub-pages: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Documentation_template
- Updated the API navigation-template:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:API
As we continue to make improvements to the technical documentation, we
could use your help to better guide our efforts!
Would you please take a few moments to complete the following survey and
share your opinions and experiences with us?

Hi, I try to write mechanism of fetching new data using your API. And I am
confused, because API response in recent changes endpoint includes
"rccontinue" like this: "20181222184231|119590". What is it? I mean this
"|" and second value.

Good morning!
I'm despaired, cause I have some problem with wikimedia api and I really
can't find answer.
I am programmer and I try to deal with allPages endpoint.
I try to fetch 500 pages, take apcontinue and once again fetch more 500
pages (from apfrom point).
Everything is ok until the moment I want to fetch something like
Somenamespace:Page. I can't send request with colon inside a request.
Response;
"error": {
"code": "invalidtitle",
"info": "Bad title \"Somenamespace:Page\".",
"*": "See http://syswiki.gene.com/syswiki/api.php for API usage.
Subscribe to the mediawiki-api-announce mailing list at <
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api-announce> for
notice of API deprecations and breaking changes."
}
Could you help me? I must fetch this page, but I don't know how to do it
properly.
