[03:03:21] <acagastya>	 Is there an API to generate a list of redirects a page had?
[03:03:24] <acagastya>	 *has?
[03:05:37] <Reedy>	 What do you mean?
[03:05:43] <Reedy>	 Pages that redirect to a given page?
[03:05:50] <acagastya>	 Yes.
[03:06:34] <Reedy>	 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=linkshere&titles=Main%20Page&lhshow=redirect
[03:09:15] <acagastya>	 Okay, thanks.
[03:09:25] <acagastya>	 I will see how to only look for a particular namespace.
[03:09:46] <acagastya>	 But tell me, is there going to be only one key in query.pages?
[03:10:00] <acagastya>	 And what is the significance of that number?
[03:10:41] <Reedy>	 15580374? it's the pageid
[03:11:23] <acagastya>	 So, assuming I were using JavaScript, I have to access it using Object.keys(query.pages)[0], right?
[03:11:40] <acagastya>	 Is there an elegant way.  No, right?
[03:11:45] <Reedy>	 I don't know, my javascript is crap
[03:12:33] <Reedy>	 You can pass &indexpageids
[03:12:49] <Reedy>	 Which then adds         "pageids": [ "15580374" ],
[03:12:54] <Reedy>	 So you can get the value from there
[03:13:04] <acagastya>	 Okay.  Thank you!
[05:45:12] <acagastya>	 Reedy: if I understand correctly, linkshere has a limit of 500.
[05:45:38] <acagastya>	 And if there are more than 500 results, it returns `lhcontinue`.
[05:46:15] <acagastya>	 So in the previous query if I add `&lhcontinue=<number>`, it gives the remaining result.
[05:46:23] <acagastya>	 Is my understanding correct?
[10:59:20] <kevinbazira>	 Hellos 👋 How do I get the mw.config object of 'Page A' when I am on 'Page B'? 
[10:59:20] <kevinbazira>	 I have tried using the MW API and was not able to get the page config but I guess I am still learning how the API works.
[10:59:21] <kevinbazira>	 I will be grateful for your help on how to get the mw.config object of 'Page A' when I am on 'Page B'. Thanks.
[12:59:12] <pie3>	 hi
[13:18:04] <Naypta>	 Hi all, quick question if anyone has any ideas. On MovePage.php line 594 https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/REL1_34/php/MovePage_8php_source.html#l00594 it's pretty clearly shown that the ManualLogEntry created for a page move's protection should have log_action "move_prot", but this isn't documented anywhere, and doesn't outwardly appear to be the case. Any ideas why?
[13:50:16] <Vulpix>	 Naypta: works for me
[13:51:54] <Vulpix>	 http://dpaste.com/2QDYBNG
[14:04:47] <Reedy>	 acagastya: According to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query%2Blinks it's 5000. You can pass limit=max rather than worrying about hte number. But yes, the continue is something like that, the API will give you the continue string, pass that back in the next query
[19:34:29] <papoteur_>	 Hi. I look for the wiki of a Linux distribution a tool to be able to translate the content of the pages.
[19:34:58] <papoteur_>	 Is there different options, with pro and cons?
[19:36:43] <papoteur_>	 For other parts of the distribution, we use transifex. It could be interesting if translators can continue to use the same tools
[20:26:14] <Skizzerz>	 papoteur_: for translating wiki content, Extension:Translate is about it
[20:29:44] <papoteur_>	 Skizzerz: Have our actual articles be cast in a model to be translatable?
[20:32:41] <Skizzerz>	 papoteur_: yes, that gives a wiki UI to translate the articles in sections, and know when certain translations are outdated because the original text changed
[20:34:20] <papoteur_>	 Skizzerz: OK. Thanks for your help
[20:34:22] <Skizzerz>	 papoteur_: for example, https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-Help%3AEditing+pages&language=fr&action=page&filter=
[20:37:17] <papoteur_>	 Ah, yes
[20:40:51] <acagastya>	 Reedy: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Linkshere says the limit is 500.
[20:41:44] <Reedy>	 Probably due to split userrights
[20:41:51] <Reedy>	 Anyway, still use limit=max
[20:41:58] <Reedy>	 Cause for some accounts it is 5000
[20:42:18] <Reedy>	 >    Maximum number of values is 50 (500 for clients allowed higher limits).
[20:42:33] <Reedy>	 I wonder if I looked at a different module. meh
[20:43:39] <acagastya>	 I am making a tool, and I would like to have maximum, yes.  But despite using max, I get the continue number -- so I would be using that.
[20:43:47] <acagastya>	 But what I didn't understand is...
[20:44:09] <acagastya>	 continue.continue is "||"
[20:44:14] <acagastya>	 What is that supposed to mean?
[20:44:30] <Reedy>	 Probably that you've got all the results already
[20:45:23] <acagastya>	 continue.lhcontinue gives a number, and there are more results.
[20:45:43] <acagastya>	 But I notices continue.continue has strings like "||" and "-||".
[20:47:22] <Vulpix>	 don't try to understand what it means. Just pass it on the next request to continue pagination (unless there's a bug that breaks pagination and you're interested on fixing it)
[20:50:15] <acagastya>	 Nah, I don't want to paginate -- I want it in one page -- so it is going to be repeated fetches.
[20:50:36] <acagastya>	 But my mind is curious what those symbols are supposed to mean.
[20:52:56] <Reedy>	 they're seperators
[20:53:07] <Reedy>	 the continue key isn't always a single number, sometimes it's a combination of different columns
[20:53:18] <Reedy>	 so it can be columna|columnb|columnc
[20:54:58] <acagastya>	 Ah, yes.  I even saw that -- but I was so sleep deprived and I didn't refactor the code and I just could not understand it in the evening.
[21:34:58] <acagastya>	 If I have a page [[Foo]], how do I check if it is a redirect page or not?
[21:43:15] <Reedy>	 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&titles=Main%20page
[21:43:22] <Reedy>	 if redirect is set, it's a redirect
[22:59:27] <acagastya>	 Okay.  Thank you!
