action=query&prop=revisions&!rvslots
Comes from mediawiki/core commit 07842be379ca3d4d0bc0608c217dd0e8cd7cbe4b T200568 which states in the release notes:
- action=query&prop=revisions now takes a rvslots parameter to indicate the multi-content revision slots for which content should be returned. It also has a new rvprop, 'roles', to indicate which roles have slots. A deprecation warning will be issued if rvprop=content or rvprop=contentmodel are used without rvslots.
- The rvcontentformat parameter to action=query&prop=revisions has been deprecated. Clients should be prepared to deal with the default format for relevant models.
action=query&prop=info&inprop=readable
Comes from mediawiki/core commit 20d18cf3cb118cd09028e4d4f4939850e5023207 T194585 which states:
- Added intestactionsdetail to action=query&prop=info to allow retrieving the reasons an action is not allowed.
- Deprecated action=query&prop=info inprop=readable in favor of intestactions=read since they both just return $title->userCan( 'read', $user ).
