[Wikitech-l] Re: APIi page generator namespace order

[Lucas Werkmeister]

For Special:UnconnectedPages in particular, we designed the underlying page
property so that it can be efficiently sorted or filtered by namespace (see
T300770  for details), so the
fact that it starts with main namespace pages is intentional and guaranteed
by the current code; I’d say this is unlikely to change soon, but I also
don’t think we consider it covered by the Wikidata Stable Interface Policy
.

For other query pages, it depends on the particular page; for
instance, Special:PagesWithProp
sorts by page_id

and Special:ShortPages by page_len
,
if I’m reading the code correctly.
