Namespace Property
For the cmnamespace property, does it take the namespace's number of its name? --(Havvy) 97.120.59.79 01:12, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It takes one or more numbers: for example,  .  --R&#39;n&#39;B (talk) 11:47, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Typo in properties?
I scratched my head on using this on Wikimedia Commons, but then found that properties such cmtype are actually named gcmtype. --Fæ (talk) 10:07, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * This is standard for any property retrieved using "generator=foo" as opposed to "titles=foo|bar". See API:Query for details.  --R&#39;n&#39;B (talk) 01:40, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Commons: gcmprop
This seems to be stuck on default (ids|titles) and does not provide any other returns. |timestamp&gcmtitle=Category:Yellow_flowers&gcmlimit=32 Example where timestamp is a requested property but not returned. --Fæ (talk) 22:42, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
