Changing summary: this isn't broken, but a feature request.

I'll write up a patch that implements this. Of course, if you're only interested in log events, you could simply use list=logevents which *does* list the action.

It is broken in the sense that it worked in MediaWiki 1.12, where the 'title' parameter was given as "Special:Log/[action]" for log entries. I assume a rewrite at some point changed that. It's also broken in the sense that it's not usable for any useful purpose. :)

I'm aware of list=logevents, but if I need all recent changes *and* log actions, it's much quicker and easier if I only have to make one query instead of two. If there was no "rctype=log" action I wouldn't object, but it seems silly to have one but not be able to use it. :)

Patch

The attached patch adds rcprop=loginfo, which adds the logid, logtype and logaction fields, along with the log parameters, to the output.
