User talk:Yurik/Query API
This page discusses the Query Interface at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/query.php
Categories
- to generate useful previews for categories, could your tool spit out the members of a category? Also it'd be cool if it could compute unions and intersections of categories. Lupin
User Contributions
- I'd like to be able to query user contribs in a similar way to querying page histories. Lupin 03:53, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Page Content
- Get page content for current and previous revisions. Phr
History by revid
An oft-requested feature for my popups script is for it to provide better edit summaries when reverting. The script only knows about revision ids, so to do this it would be very useful if the revisions query supported using revids where it currently only dates, in the rvstart and rvend parameters.

- What kind of request do you want to make - Get name,date,comment for title/pageId where revision id = x? If that is what you need, do you want x to be just one value or multiple revIds? So the query can become: give me a list of titles with revisions if all i know is a list of revIDs. This way you can specify a list of revisions, and get back which pages they apply to, and some revision info. --Yurik 05:11, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
