Your automated script's API continuation code needs to be updated[edit]

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 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 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 (example). No other code changes should be necessary.
  • Update your code to use the simplified continuation documented at mw:API:Query#Continuing queries (example), which is much easier for clients to implement correctly.

Thanks.
