API:Properties

Page information items are used to get various data about a list of pages specified with either the titles=, pageids=, or revids= parameters, or by using. Content, links, interwiki links, and other information may be obtained.

info / in (done except tokens)

 * Gets the basic page information such as pageid, last revid, redirect, last touched, etc. Limit: 500/5000.
 * Parameters: intokens=edit|rollback|delete|protect|move
 * Issues: Should there be tokens for rollback/delete/protect/move be available in this way, as oppose to having an action= for each task? There is a potential for abuse, as someone might have a link on their website to wiki, and that link would contain a "delete" action. If a logged in admin clicks on that link, the api will recognize them because of their cookie, and will allow the deletion.
