Bug ID: 63865
Summary: list=usercontribs has strange uccontinue behavior
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: API
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org

The uccontinue pattern for list=usercontribs does not match that of other types
of calls to the API (e.g. prop=revisions).
Expected behavior:
A query of the type
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=usercontribs&ucuser=<username>&format=jsonfm&uclimit=1
should return a result with one revision and a
query-continue.usercontribs.uccontinue field. This uccontinue field can them
be supplied to another query in order to get the next revision. (e.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=usercontribs&ucuser=YurikBot&format=jsonfm&uclimit=1&uccontinue=2006-09-12T17:54:43Z
Actual behavior:
A query of the type
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=usercontribs&ucuser=<username>&format=jsonfm&uclimit=1
returns a result with one revision, but has a
query-continue.usercontribs.ucstart field. (note the "ucstart" instead of the
"uccontinue"). If the value of this "ucstart" is passed as a "uccontinue"
value, it will not work as expected.
E.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=usercontribs&ucuser=YurikBot&format=jsonfm&uclimit=1&uccontinue=2006-08-29T15:38:01Z
returns the same revision as
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=usercontribs&ucuser=YurikBot&format=jsonfm&uclimit=1
While there is an obvious work-around of passing the
query-continue.usercontribs.ucstart field back as a ucstart parameter, this
behavior is unexpected.
