Allcategories
[edit] | This page is part of the MediaWiki Action API documentation. |

Sample code
[edit]Additional notes
[edit]- This module differs from list=allpages&alnamespace=14 in that categories without descriptions will be listed, while redirects and pages where the category was never used will not.
- The response may include categories that were previously used but have since been deleted.
- Because the response may include categories that are deleted or otherwise empty, it is recommended to filter the list using
acmin=1, so as to only return categories containing one or more members.

propmodule that gets all the categories associated with a particular page. - API:Allpages - another module that can access the category namespace.

Alllinks
[edit] | This page is part of the MediaWiki Action API documentation. |
| MediaWiki version: | ≥ 1.11 |
GET request to list links that point to a given namespace, ordered by title.
This module can be used as a generator.
API documentation
[edit]
Example
[edit]By default, this module will return duplicates if a page contains multiple links pointing to the same namespace.
This example uses alunique=1 to remove any duplicate titles in the response.
GET request
[edit]List distinct links (i.e. no duplicates) which point to the main namespace.

|---|---|
| badcontinue | Invalid continue param. You should pass the original value returned by the previous query. |
| invalidparammix | The alprop=ids parameter cannot be used with alunique. This happens when you use
alprop=ids and alunique together |
Additional notes
[edit]- As with other link modules within the Action API, this module returns the titles of the pages that link to the namespace, not the exact URIs to those pages.
- This module can be used as a generator.
- Previous versions would return an error if the user tried to run this module as a generator, and
aluniquewas set to true. This was altered in v1.24, to allow using the module as a generator even ifaluniqueis true.

[edit]- API:Backlinks - lists links to a given page.

Parameter history
[edit]- v1.12: Introduced

Additional notes
[edit]- This API call is case sensitive, so
aufrom=DROVdoesn't return the same results asaufrom=Drov. - All registered usernames are saved and retrieved in capitalized form. If you are using
aufromorauprefixin your query, make sure you are passing them values that start with an uppercase character. - Although the default behavior is to list any user in the database, we can also limit our response to only those users who belong to a certain group, such as sysops, or bots. User groups are how MediaWiki grants users certain rights and privileges; see Help:User rights and groups for more details on how this system works.

Backlinks
[edit] | This page is part of the MediaWiki Action API documentation. |
| MediaWiki version: | ≥ 1.9 |
GET request to list pages which link to a certain page.
API documentation

Example
[edit]GET request
[edit]List backlinks to the philosophy page.
Response
[edit]{
"batchcomplete": "",
"continue": {

}
}
Sample code
[edit]Redirects
[edit]In the example above, only direct links to the philosophy page are returned.
When blredirect is set, the response will include any pages which backlink to redirects for the value in bltitle.
These redirected backlinks are treated as separate groups within the response hierarchy, one level down from the redirect itself.
The limit set in bllimit applies separately to each level of the response, so bllimit=25 would return up to 25 direct backlinks, and up to 25 backlinks within each individual redirect.
In addition, using blcontinue when a redirect was in the response will return more second-level backlinks, before finally moving on to more direct backlinks, once all the backlinks for a redirect have been returned in full.
Possible errors

|---|---|
| blbadcontinue | Invalid continue param. You should pass the original value returned by the previous query. |

Additional notes
[edit]- Unlike most modules in the Action API, the default number of pages returned is 1, not 10.
- Pages are returned in a fixed sequence; only the starting point is actually random.
- The default behavior is to pick pages from across the entire wiki, including talk pages, user pages, and so on. If you are looking for similar functionality as Special:Random, i.e. pick random articles, restrict
rnnamespaceto0. - If the number of pages is fewer than
rnlimit, the request will simply return all available pages. It will not repeat pages to pad out the response up to the limit.

Additional notes
[edit]- Many log actions can be viewed using this module excluding patrol actions as they are not present in the recentchanges table.
- The Timestamp to start listing from may not be more than $wgRCMaxAge into the past, which on Wikimedia wikis is 30 days.
- New changes may be inserted to the
recentchangestable slightly out of order with respect to their timestamp. Thus, when requesting the most recent changes twice in a row, the second response may contain new changes inserted a few seconds before the most recent one in the first response. If you repeatedly call this module to get a stream a recent change, consider adding some overlap between requests to not miss any changes. - This module can be used as a generator.
- This module is implemented by ApiQueryRecentChanges.php.
