Can I suggest that if one is going to forward ?uselang=geek to this list, that it may be worthwhile putting in a translation.

The message to API list may be right, and helpful to some, but not to all. To here, it is not useful as it could be with what if it had what it means, its purpose, an example, the implications, does it reflect through in the logs, etc. Being an ambassador means that one needs to understand the importance and context of a change, though they may not understand the technical aspects, etc.

Regards.

------- Forwarded message ------- From: "Brad Jorsch" bjorsch@wikimedia.org To: "MediaWiki API announcements & discussion" mediawiki-api@lists.wikimedia.org, mediawiki-api-announce@lists.wikimedia.org Cc: Subject: [Mediawiki-api] BREAKING CHANGE: Format of action=query&list=logevents&leprop=details changing Date: Wed, 02 Jan 2013 19:28:43 +0100

Due to bug 43221 and Gerrit change I1a3c7ac6, the format of the "details" for some log events will be changing. In particular, any event with details that were returned with a key resembling "4::foo" will now be returned under a key of simply "foo".

This change will be deployed with 1.21wmf7, which is scheduled for today on mediawiki.org, test.wikipedia.org, and wikidata; 7 January for non-Wikipedia sites; 9 January for enwiki; and 14 January for the other Wikipedias.
