             Bug #: 34962
           Summary: ApiSandbox instructions are unclear for certain
                    parameters (titles, pageids, revids)
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: ApiSandbox
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: b...@mzmcbride.com
                CC: maxsem.w...@gmail.com, s...@reedyboy.net
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


When using the ApiSandbox with options such as json/query/prop=categories, you
get inputs that look like this:

titles    [                    ]    A list of titles to work on
pageids   [                    ]    A list of page IDs to work on
revids    [                    ]    A list of revision IDs to work on

These three instructions don't mention what the separator is! I think it's most
natural to assume that the values are comma-separated, but they're surely not.
The default documentation should be updated to say something like... "A list of
titles to work on, separated by '|'" or something.
