adrprop

Which properties to get for each revision:

ids
The ID of the revision.
flags
Revision flags (minor).
timestamp
The timestamp of the revision.
user
User that made the revision. If the user has been revision deleted, a userhidden property will be returned.
userid
User ID of the revision creator. If the user has been revision deleted, a userhidden property will be returned.
size
Length (bytes) of the revision.
slotsize
Length (bytes) of each revision slot.
sha1
SHA-1 (base 16) of the revision. If the content has been revision deleted, a sha1hidden property will be returned.
slotsha1
SHA-1 (base 16) of each revision slot. If the content has been revision deleted, a sha1hidden property will be returned.
contentmodel
Content model ID of each revision slot.
comment
Comment by the user for the revision. If the comment has been revision deleted, a commenthidden property will be returned.
parsedcomment
Parsed comment by the user for the revision. If the comment has been revision deleted, a commenthidden property will be returned.
content
Content of each revision slot. If the content has been revision deleted, a texthidden property will be returned. For performance reasons, if this option is used, adrlimit is enforced to 50.
tags
Tags for the revision.
roles
List content slot roles that exist in the revision.
parsetree
Deprecated. Use action=expandtemplates or action=parse instead. The XML parse tree of revision content (requires content model wikitext). For performance reasons, if this option is used, adrlimit is enforced to 50.
Values (separate with | or alternative): comment, content, contentmodel, flags, ids, parsedcomment, roles, sha1, size, slotsha1, slotsize, tags, timestamp, user, userid, parsetree
Default: ids|timestamp|flags|comment|user
adrslots

Which revision slots to return data for, when slot-related properties are included in adrprops. If omitted, data from the main slot will be returned in a backwards-compatible format.

Values (separate with | or alternative): main
To specify all values, use *.
adrcontentformat-{slot}

Content serialization format used for output of content.

This is a templated parameter. When making the request, {slot} in the parameter's name should be replaced with values of adrslots.
One of the following values: application/json, application/octet-stream, application/unknown, application/x-binary, text/css, text/javascript, text/plain, text/unknown, text/x-wiki, unknown/unknown
adrlimit

Limit how many revisions will be returned. If adrprop=content, adrprop=parsetree, adrdiffto or adrdifftotext is used, the limit is 50. If adrparse is used, the limit is 1.

Type: integer or max
The value must be between 1 and 500.
adrexpandtemplates
Deprecated.

Use action=expandtemplates instead. Expand templates in revision content (requires adrprop=content).

Type: boolean (details)
adrgeneratexml
Deprecated.

Use action=expandtemplates or action=parse instead. Generate XML parse tree for revision content (requires adrprop=content).

Type: boolean (details)
adrparse
Deprecated.

Use action=parse instead. Parse revision content (requires adrprop=content). For performance reasons, if this option is used, adrlimit is enforced to 1.

Type: boolean (details)
adrsection

Only retrieve the content of the section with this identifier.

adrdiffto
Deprecated.

Use action=compare instead. Revision ID to diff each revision to. Use prev, next and cur for the previous, next and current revision respectively. For performance reasons, if this option is used, adrlimit is enforced to 50.

adrdifftotext
Deprecated.

Use action=compare instead. Text to diff each revision to. Only diffs a limited number of revisions. Overrides adrdiffto. If adrsection is set, only that section will be diffed against this text. For performance reasons, if this option is used, adrlimit is enforced to 50.

adrdifftotextpst
Deprecated.

Use action=compare instead. Perform a pre-save transform on the text before diffing it. Only valid when used with adrdifftotext.

Type: boolean (details)
adrcontentformat
Deprecated.

Serialization format used for adrdifftotext and expected for output of content.

One of the following values: application/json, application/octet-stream, application/unknown, application/x-binary, text/css, text/javascript, text/plain, text/unknown, text/x-wiki, unknown/unknown
adruser

Only list revisions by this user.

Note: Due to miser mode, using adruser and adrnamespace together may result in fewer than adrlimit results returned before continuing; in extreme cases, zero results may be returned.

Type: user, by any of username, IP, Temporary user, interwiki name (e.g. "prefix>ExampleName") and user ID (e.g. "#12345")
adrnamespace

Only list pages in this namespace.

Note: Due to miser mode, using adruser and adrnamespace together may result in fewer than adrlimit results returned before continuing; in extreme cases, zero results may be returned.
