User:Mr. Stradivarius/API continuation/message

Hello! It appears that a bot or script that you are maintaining is still requesting the old style of continuation data from the MediaWiki API. The default continuation parameter is [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html changing on July 2, 2015], so if you don't update your code before then, your bot or script will stop working completely.

You can check whether your bot or script needs to be updated by looking for a warning [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages like this] in the API response. To update your script, use one of the following methods:

• To continue using the raw continuation data, simply include the "rawcontinue" parameter with your request ([https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&rawcontinue=1 example]). No other code changes should be necessary.
• Update your code to use the simplified continuation documented at mw:API:Query#Continuing queries ([https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&continue= example]), which is much easier for clients to implement correctly.

Thanks.
