</div></blockquote><div>by &quot;make suggestions&quot; you mean I can click &quot;edit&quot; of a section and  type in any text directly? or there is some dedicated page/forum/maillist to input? (sorry for my ignorance, I&#39;m quite new to MediaWiki developing)</div>


<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div> now before implementation begins. Hence - there isn&#39;t that much in terms of documentation yet.</div>





<div><br></div><div>* The wikidata extension currently does not extend the action=query, but instead adds its own. Making Wikidata API integrated into the action=query is my prime intention as part of that roadmap. In the future you will be able to do generator=recentchanges&amp;props=wblanglinks to get the list of langlinks from all the recently changed items in one API call.</div>





<div><br></div><div>* At this point all queries like <a href="http://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&amp;list=recentchanges&amp;rcnamespace=0&amp;rcprop=comment&amp;rclimit=max&amp;rcnamespace=0" target="_blank">list=recentchanges</a> and <a href="http://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&amp;titles=Q541001&amp;prop=revisions&amp;rvlimit=max" target="_blank">prop=revisions</a> already list all langlink changes to the items, but only by analyzing the comment or the actual change can you check if it was a langlink or a claim change (by using one of the wikibase actions)</div>

</div></blockquote><div>I don&#39;t understand what is a &quot;claim change&quot;, could you explain a little more or point me some doc? </div><div>&quot;wikibase&quot; is an alias of &quot;<a href="http://wikidata.org">wikidata.org</a>&quot;, right?</div>

<div><br></div><div>* Overall API is moving away from the multi-formats like xml+wddx+php in favor of a single one - json, so in case you are still using xml i suggest migrating. See the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/API_Future" target="_blank">main mediawiki API roadmap</a> for other proposed api changes.</div>

</div></blockquote><div>Thanks for pointing me the overall roadmap. I&#39;ll plan to migrate soon. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">
