Template talk:ApiEx

Use plain spaces
Sure wish you used plain ASCII " " spaces. Wouldn't have to go nuts cleaning them up after each cut and paste to try out parts of them.

In fact perhaps any spaces at all is a barrier to people wanting to paste parts of them... Jidanni 20:46, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Mysterious post parameter ?
The explanation says
 * post - a "list" of ApiEx/Post objects, to generate a post table

I don't understand that. It would be nice to have an example.

Do any pages use this? API:Edit doesn't use it, I would expect it to.

Thanks for working on this!

Switch output to json
Now that API output is JSON by default, the examples should probably switch to  | result= { "query": { "pages": { ...

I did this already in API:Properties -- SPage (WMF) (talk) 22:24, 5 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't disagree that we should start using JSON when we can, though there are a rather large number of examples to check (~250) and probably convert if we want to go back and do them all. – Robin Hood  (talk)  06:21, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
