For consistency, prop=categories&clprop=timestamp
now returns timestamps
in ISO 8601 format (e.g. 2008-08-23T18:05:46Z) rather than MediaWiki's
internal timestamp format (e.g. 20080823180546) as of r40161 [1]. All
timestamps that the API outputs are now in ISO 8601 format.
And does it expect input timestamp in this format too ?
for example to make an edit you get the timestamp of the last revision,
and set basetimestamp to that. Will this still work ?
