In addition, any clients still using deprecated parameters to other modules[2] should transition to the non-deprecated replacements. We've begun logging the use of these parameters on WMF wikis, and when usage drops sufficiently they may be removed.

Along these lines, with the merge of Gerrit change 155259[1] the iwurl parameter to prop=iwlinks will be deprecated in favor of a newly-added iwprop=url, for parallelism with prop=langlinks.

This change should be deployed to WMF wikis with 1.24wmf19, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.24/Roadmap for the schedule.
