Btw, I don't know if it's a bug or not, but http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=tokens&rawconti... returns no tokens even when I am logged in. According to always-up-to-date api.php I don't need to provide any more parameters for this to work. Is that a bug?

Hi,
I said that I don't know how to do this correctly, so I can't fix the documentation. So no, I will not fix it, because I can't.
Regarding your suggestion, it might be a good idea, but apparently even the "always up-to-date" API documentation returned by api.php is outdated and its example queries produces warning about deprecated values. Just have a look at http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query%2Btokens which suggest http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=tokens which starts with a warning.

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).

-----Original-Nachricht----- Betreff: [Wikitech-l] rvtoken deprecated Datum: Thu, 30 Oct 2014 10:13:11 +0100 Von: Petr Bena benapetr@gmail.com An: Wikimedia developers wikitech-l@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&rvtok...
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.
Thanks
