In version 1.18 the query https://wikisource.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=logevents&leaction=newusers/create&leprop=user%7Ctimestamp&lelimit=500 would allow one to filter out new users who were created on wiki, from those that are automatically created. There looks to have been a change to the API with the introduction of "letype" though not all the functionality seems to flow through. The closest that I can get the query would now be ?action=query&list=logevents&leprop=type|user|timestamp&lelimit=5&letype=newusers which shows <api> <query> <logevents> <item type="newusers" action="autocreate" user="Rhy0614" timestamp="2012-04-01T10:12:21Z" /> <item type="newusers" action="autocreate" user="Kratzbaum" timestamp="2012-04-01T10:09:42Z" /> <item type="newusers" action="autocreate" user="Mogadir" timestamp="2012-04-01T10:04:32Z" /> <item type="newusers" action="autocreate" user="Yuvalbleich" timestamp="2012-04-01T09:53:55Z" /> <item type="newusers" action="create" user="MacixeXopuji" timestamp="2012-04-01T09:36:22Z" /> </logevents> </query> </api> One cannot filter on &leaction=create and it seems to be that all the newuser actions are non-existent, and the instructions would seem to show that too.
$wgLogTypes = array( '', 'block', 'protect', 'rights', 'delete', 'upload', 'move', 'import', 'patrol', 'merge', 'suppress', ) $wgLogActions = array( 'block/block' => 'blocklogentry', 'block/unblock' => 'unblocklogentry', 'block/reblock' => 'reblock-logentry', 'protect/protect' => 'protectedarticle', 'protect/modify' => 'modifiedarticleprotection', 'protect/unprotect' => 'unprotectedarticle', 'protect/move_prot' => 'movedarticleprotection', 'rights/rights' => 'rightslogentry', 'rights/autopromote' => 'rightslogentry-autopromote', 'upload/upload' => 'uploadedimage', 'upload/overwrite' => 'overwroteimage', 'upload/revert' => 'uploadedimage', 'import/upload' => 'import-logentry-upload', 'import/interwiki' => 'import-logentry-interwiki', 'merge/merge' => 'pagemerge-logentry', 'suppress/block' => 'blocklogentry', 'suppress/reblock' => 'reblock-logentry', ); It's not the API at fault, as that's only listing what's available. Most likely, it would be related to the logging rewrite... CC'ing Niklas
Possible API breakage is a high priority.
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/11864 There might be extensions using the foo/* syntax still. Maybe the API should just allow specifying the type instead of limiting it to predefined values.
Niklas, are you planning on releasing a new patch?
Someone already did.
ok, so marking as need-review.
