"With Gerrit change #136799 <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/136799/>, the old output format for action=expandtemplates and the generatexml parameter are deprecated, but will continue to be used for existing queries. Clients should begin using the new 'prop' parameter to action=expandtemplates, to be ready for some future date when the deprecated format and parameter are removed. There is no timeline on this removal, but it will be announced well in advance to this list. This change will be deployed to WMF wikis with 1.24wmf8, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.24/Roadmap for the schedule. This is not considered a breaking change, since the old queries will continue to work with a deprecation warning. " Has been deployed. I'm getting a nice: "WARNING: API warning (expandtemplates): Because no values have been specified for the prop parameter, a legacy format has been used for the output. This format is deprecated, and in the future, a default value will be set for the prop parameter, causing the new format to always be used." We should update pywikibot to use the new format
Change 139099 had a related patch set uploaded by Xqt: (bug 66445) New "prop" parameter with action=expandtemplates https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/139099
Remarks: with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/139102/ the mw version is retrieved from live wiki and this this patch will become working immediately and is independent from updating of the family file in that case.
