Why does extlinks use eloffset instead of elcontinue?
[edit]See title. This inconsistency is likely to surprise people who assume continues are module prefix + continue, even though the "continue" API element does use eloffset too. AbyxDev (talk) 04:31, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
How do you get external link text?
[edit]I can get the external links with prop=extlinks, but i can get the text. Eg. i can get "www.source.com" but cant get "visit source"
i hope made myself clear.

- I don't believe you can short of parsing the text of the page manually. – Robin Hood (talk) 01:23, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
