Request for redirect info in backlinks query

Hi,

(I also posted this at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:API:Query_-_Lists)

Hi,

I see that the backlinks query can already filter results depending if a 
backlink is a redirect or not (with blfiterredir) but I don't see a way 
to see in the result if backlinks are actually redirect or not. Could it 
be added to the API ?

I need to retrieve all backlinks (recursively through redirects), so 
currently I call recursively the backlinks query and the redirect query. 
Retrieving the 2 informations in one query would be very useful for me 
to speed up requests ;)

I quickly looked at the code of the backlinks query and it seems simple 
to do (I may be overlooking things because I don't know how the API is 
working) :
* In run(), call $this->addField('page_is_redirect'); if needed.
* In extractRowInfo(), add something like $vals['redirect'] = 
intval($row->page_is_redirect);.

Thanks in advance for any answer :)

Nico

As I replied on mediawiki.org, you should use 
api.php?action=query&generator=backlinks&gbltitle=My_page&prop=info

Re: Retrieving Size - bug?

Regarding this issue, please consider voting on this bug:

http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12188

Having access to all size values would be important for my research.

Thanks!

Protection according to 'rights' or 'groups'

Hello,

I have a question between the difference between rights and groups in
protection. When I request the protection of a page, for example
<http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&inprop=protection&titles=Main%20Page>
the following is given for protection:

        <protection>
          <pr type="edit" level="autoconfirmed" expiry="infinity" />
          <pr type="move" level="sysop" expiry="infinity" />
        </protection>

When I ask my userinfo
<http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&meta=userinfo&uiprop=rights|groups>:

    <userinfo name="Bryan">
      <groups>
        <g>checkuser</g>
        <g>sysop</g>
      </groups>
      <rights>
 [...]
        <r>autoconfirmed</r>
        <r>skipcaptcha</r>
        <r>emailconfirmed</r>
      </rights>
    </userinfo>

To abe able to edit the page, one needs to be 'autoconfirmed' which is
a right. In order to be able to move a page, one needs to be 'sysop'

Actually, sysop is both a right *and* a group. The same is true for 'bot'.

Then why is sysop only in groups in the api call?

No, there's no right called "sysop". "sysop" protection level is 
rewitten as "protect" when permission check on permission check.

Parameter apprefix for allpages request

Hi,

When looking at the documentation you get when callling the API, the 
apprefix parameter is documented as "Search for all page titles that 
begin with this value" but I don't get any result when I try to use it.

For example, the following request returns zero pages :
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&apprefix=Bal&apfrom=bal

How do you use apprefix ?
