I don't know if others run in to this situation, but I'll throw this
idea/request out there and see what folks think.
A lot of what I use the API for is for WikiProjects. As such, I'm often
getting a list of pages by looking for a project template, which is on the
talk page. Then I have to turn that around and get the actual articles from
main-space.
So I was wondering about way to get the "switch" of a page id. The two
possibilities I thought of are:
action=query&prop=info&inprop=talkid&pageids=15580374
action=query&prop=revisions&titles=Talk:Main%20Page&rvprop=mainid
Either one would take a page or set of pages and return either the talk page
id or the mainspace id.
Is this something that's doable? Desired? Thoughts?
