Something I forgot to mention here is that continue parameters have been added to most modules that didn't have one: iicontinue for prop=imageinfo, rvcontinue for prop=revisions, cicontinue for prop=categoryinfo, incontinue for prop=info and amfrom for meta=allmessages; meta=siteinfo abuses siprop as query-continue parameter.
