API talk:Users

userid
There is a "userid" field in the return result that is not mentioned in the doc and should be. Is there a way to put it into a query, e.g. if I want to know who user #3 is? #1 and #2 are presumably Jimbo and Larry. tx 75.57.242.120 03:32, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

User editcount returned by API is wrong
I did test with several usernames, the editcount returned by API:Users (usprop:editcount) is wrong. For example:
 * for myself on this wiki, API returns 72, but I do have 74 edits;
 * for user 0x010C on this wiki, API returns 920, but this did 1025 edits.

I don't get why the figure returned by the API is wrong, and always under the real number of edits. Any idea? Jules* (talk) 12:42, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
