Hi, if I'm making a query using one of the prop modules, can I rely on the fact that all results for certain page will be together in the API pages? In other words, if I find some results for some page on API page n and no results on API page n+1, can I be sure there will be no results on pages > n?
Why do I want to know this: I am writing a library to access the API and every collection in my library is lazy. For example, a user requests to know categories of pages in Category:Query languages. When he starts iterating over the result, I execute the query: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=categorymembers&gcmtitle=Category:Query%20languages&prop=categories When he then requests to know the categories of the third page in the result (Access query language), I will return to him the categories from the first query. If he requests more, I execute the query: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=categorymembers&gcmtitle=Category:Query%20languages&prop=categories&clcontinue=494528|All%20pages%20needing%20cleanup This query doesn't give me any new categories for that page. My question is: can I be sure that I won't get any further results for this page, if I continue to increment clcontinue? I think the answer is yes in this specific case, because the first part of clcontinue is pageid, but I am interested in the general answer: does the same apply for all prop modules?
