Hi,
My name is Kenrick, I'm an Indonesian Wikipedia administrator trying to
experiment things with MediaWiki API.
I am currently doing a project to list down the new articles using
MediaWiki API with these parameters:
action = query
list = recentchanges
rctype = new
rcshow = !redirect
But then this method also includes those articles which current revision
is a redirect page.
Is there any way to perfectly list down new articles like Special:Newpages
did?
Thank you.
I used those parameters and it excluded any pages that are currently
redirects (regardless of whether they were redirects at the time the
recentchanges row was created). That's what you were trying to do, right?
You're saying it didn't exclude them?
