Links generated by the API are now aware of the user's preferred
language and will show documents in that language if available.
To test, log in to mediawiki.org and set your language preference to 'es',
then on an MediaWiki installation with this patch view the generated
expanded API help at `api.php?action=help&recursivesubmodules=1&modules=main`.
Each link to documentation on mediawiki.org should take you to its
translated /es subpage, if one exists.

Log events are sometimes attributed to a special page; it should be
allowed to use rcnamespace or lenamespace to filter for these.
It's also possible for special pages to be the targets of redirects, so
list=allredirects and prop=redirects should find them.
Maybe someday we'll record links to and transclusions of special pages
too (see T19597), so we may as well make it possible to query for those
as well via list=alllinks, list=alltransclusions, list=backlinks,
list=embeddedin, prop=linkshere, prop=transcludedin, prop=links, and
prop=templates.
NS_MEDIA has similar considerations: although we currently "normalize"
page links to the corresponding File and I don't think anything logs the
Media title rather than the File, transclusions and redirects do show
up in those tables.

API warnings and error messages are currently hard-coded English
strings. This patch changes that.
With a few exceptions, this patch should be compatible with non-updated
extensions:
* The change to ApiBase::$messageMap will blow up anything trying to
mess with it.
* The changes to the 'ApiCheckCanExecute' hook will cause a wrong
(probably unparsed) error message to be emitted for extensions not
already using an ApiMessage. Unless they're currently broken like
Wikibase.

Nothing in this patch should result in changed output for format=json or
format=php except as noted in RELEASE-NOTES-1.25, and changed output for
format=xml should be similar or cosmetic. However, other code accessing

ApiResult was a mess: some methods could only be used with an array
reference instead of manipulating the stored data, methods that had both
array-ref and internal-data versions had names that didn't at all
correspond, some methods that worked on an array reference were
annoyingly non-static, and then the whole mess with setIndexedTagName.
ApiFormatXml is also entirely annoying to deal with, as it liked to
throw exceptions if certain metadata wasn't provided that no other
formatter required. Its legacy also means we have this silly convention
of using empty-string rather than boolean true, annoying restrictions on
keys (leading to things that should be hashes being arrays of key-value
object instead), '*' used as a key all over the place, and so on.
So, changes here:
* ApiResult is no longer an ApiBase or a ContextSource.
* Wherever sensible, ApiResult provides a static method working on an
arrayref and a non-static method working on internal data.
* Metadata is now always added to ApiResult's internal data structure.
Formatters are responsible for stripping it if necessary. "raw mode"
is deprecated.
* New metadata to replace the '*' key, solve the array() => '[]' vs '{}'
question, and so on.
* New class for formatting warnings and errors using i18n messages, and
support for multiple errors and a more machine-readable format for
warnings. For the moment, though, the actual output will not be changing
yet (see T47843 for future plans).
* New formatversion parameter for format=json and format=php, to select
between BC mode and the modern output.
* In BC mode, booleans will be converted to empty-string presence style;
modules currently returning booleans will need to use
ApiResult::META_BC_BOOLS to preserve their current output.
Actual changes to the API modules' output (e.g. actually returning
booleans for the new formatversion) beyond the use of
ApiResult::setContentValue() are left for a future change.

The format for 'props' was never specified and the list for 'errors' is
impossible to keep updated when considering that many errors come from
MediaWiki backend code and extension hook functions. And since there
doesn't seem to be any real use case for either of these, let's just
kill both of them instead of wasting effort on trying to fix them.
Note that neither getResultProperties nor getPossibleErrors are called
from any extensions in gerrit, and none of the other deprecated methods
are called outside of the implementations of those two methods. Removing
the obsolete methods is left to the maintainers of the extensions, as
keeping them hurts nothing and is needed to maintain compatibility with
earlier versions of MediaWiki.

Which type is used depends on the ApiModuleManager responsible for
the API module. There are two managers, one in ApiMain and one in
ApiQuery. Both contain a list of API modules they instantiate.
Both use $this as the first parameter in the constructors of the
individual modules. There is no other regular way to instantiate the
modules, so we know the type must either be ApiMain or ApiQuery.
The lists don't intersect.
I would have prefered the naming scheme $mainModule for ApiMain
modules and $queryModule for ApiQuery modules but since this
doesn't add much I left the shorter variable names untouched.

While redirects can be sort-of queried using list=backlinks with
blfilterredir=redirects, we can get more accurate results with a module
dedicated to this purpose. We can also get the fragment of the redirect
without having to load the content of the redirect page and parse it.
I'm a bit surprised I was able to put together a query for this that
will work as a prop module. Or did I overlook something?
And then we may as well add the corresponding list=allredirects, to work
like alllinks, allfileusages, and alltransclusions.

ApiQueryBase::titlePartToKey now allows an extra parameter that
indicates the namespace in order to properly capitalize the title part.
This allows list=allcategories, list=allimages, list=alllinks,
list=allpages, list=deletedrevs and list=filearchive to
handle case-sensitivity properly for all parameters.

API continuation parameters encode sufficient state for a subsequent
query to continue where the previous one left off; this may sometimes
include page titles, with or without the namespace. Given that these
page titles are already in the exact format required for the next
request's SQL query, it is not necessary to "normalize" them in any way.
And if normalization does more than just change spaces to underscores or
vice versa (e.g. it canonicalizes namespace aliases or capitalizes the
first letter of the title), it can be actively harmful: see bug 36987
and bug 29290.
Note this patch involves a breaking API change: the values for the
"continue" parameter of various modules have been changed, and some
modules will now return "continue" as the continuation parameter instead
of reusing "from".
Note this patch also corrects a minor logic bug in ApiQueryAllLinks,
changing ">" to ">=". The line is being changed anyway, so I didn't
bother doing a separate changeset.

Doxygen choke on text enclosed by '<' and '>' since it tries to
interpret them as HTML or XML elements. This patch adds double quotes
in includes/api/*.php files around the two following strings:
<Firstname>.<Lastname>@gmail.com
<Firstname><Lastname>@gmail.com
Which becomes:
"<Firstname>.<Lastname>@gmail.com"
"<Firstname><Lastname>@gmail.com"
Tested locally, it prevents doxygen 1.8.0 related warnings.

Added information about the properties of the results of API calls
to action=paraminfo, including information about "property groups":
what should the prop parameter be set to to get that property.
Uses the same format for types as parameters already do.
The output format of some modules doesn't fit this, so the result
properties for them weren't added, or only partially.
Partially implemented modules:
* expandtemplates:
parsetree is in its own tag
* protect, allusers, backlinks, deletedrevs, info, imageinfo,
logevents, querypage, recentchanges, revisions, searchinfo,
usercontribs, userinfo, users, watchlist, upload:
response with partially complex structure
Not implemented modules:
* feedcontributions, feedwatchlist, opensearch, rds:
non-standard reponse
* help:
error is normal response; not very useful for automated tools anyway
* paraminfo, parse, pageprops, siteinfo, userrights:
response with complex structure

It's a parctice that dates back to 2006 when the API was first written, and frankly isn't covered by the coding conventions. Same thing with the docblocks, they're all copypasted with some bits changed and don't even make sense if you look at them in the genereated code docs.
I don't feel that any of us depend on this anymore (get a better IDE), so in the inerest of consistancy it's time we said goodbye to it.
* Introduced a "cache mode" concept to simplify the header generation code, and to avoid odd results when conflicting cache header requests are received from submodules, or at least to formalise the handling of such cases.
* Made the cache mode private by default, so that code written in ignorance of caching tends to be safe. If different query modules are used in a single request, private caching is preferred over public caching.
* Removed the "must-revalidate" option from all CC headers, this is really specific to page views with a hacked squid in front, I don't think it's applicable here.
* Made the watchlist module private. This is really the definition of private data. There's nothing in the HTTP spec that says the URL for a CC:public request is private and can't be leaked. CC:private provides protection against unknown proxy behaviour.
* In ApiQueryAllmessages: avoid calling $wgLang->getCode() to check if it's necessary to make a new $wgLang when lang= is specified, since this is the only thing that unstubs $wgUser.
* Removed "FIXME: should this check $user instead of $wgUser?" Answer is no.
