I'm trying to use a single API call to generate information on
multiple revisions of pages that transclude another page.
The parameters I use are as follows:
action=query
prop=revisions
generator=embeddedin
geinamespace=2
geititle=user:Iron_Chicken/ToDo
rvprop=user|ids|comment
The url looks like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&generator=embeddedin&rvprop=user|ids|comment&geinamespace=2&geititle=user:Iron_Chicken/ToDo
That's great but it only returns information about the latest revision.
So I look at the documentation for prop=revisions and add rvlimit=5
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&generator=embeddedin&rvprop=user|ids|comment&geinamespace=2&geititle=user:Iron_Chicken/ToDo&rvlimit=5
Oops, now I get the dreaded API documentation message.
Wassup?
