Re: [Wikitech-l] rvtoken deprecated

Why not use the always up-to-date API documentation returned by api.php itself? Rollback should be this doc-page: http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=rollback Maybe you can help us fixing the API documentation, so, if you know, how to do a rollback, you can fix the doc on mw.org (don't forget to update the MW version the doc page refers to). Freundliche Grüße / Kind regards, Florian Schmidt -----Original-Nachricht----- Betreff: [Wikitech-l] rvtoken deprecated Datum: Thu, 30 Oct 2014 10:13:11 +0100 Von: Petr Bena <benapetr(a)gmail.com> An: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hello, I am receiving lot of these warnings: WARNING: API query (revisions): The rvtoken parameter has been deprecated. According to current documentation for mediawiki at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Rollback which I follow, in order to get a rvtoken I should use this query: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvto… however that very query returns this warning. Is this a bug in documentation? Why do you first deprecate things and then, ages later, update the docs? Shouldn't it be the other way? Mediawiki has worst backward compatibility support I have ever seen and this is one of the reasons for it.
