action=feedrecentchanges missing various ChangesListSpecialPage parameters from documentation
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

I'm writing separared subtasks as suggested here:

Separate bugs should be filed for separate issues. There's at least 3 different issues (depending on how you count) here, and 1 is seemingly invalid.

Some parameters are missing from the documentation page MediaWiki API help:
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=feedrecentchanges
&hidepageedits=1
&hidelog=1

ChangesListSpecialPage adds those two parameters. They need adding/documenting in ApiFeedRecentChanges I guess

Event Timeline

Reedy renamed this task from action=feedrecentchanges missing from the documentation: &hidepageedits=1 &hidelog=1 to action=feedrecentchanges missing various ChangesListSpecialPage parameters from documentation.Oct 27 2020, 4:58 PM

From what I can see, there's definitely a handful more parameters that are not explicitly exposed etc.

Tagging Growth-Team as I think they're the team (now) that are responsible for most of these additions into the SpecialPage but not exposing them obviously on the API docs/params too

@AMooney: Can you please avoid removing your tag and arguing with Herald until T267037 is fixed?

We could get the rule sorted and the change applied if you don't have access in a few minutes if you know what you want or disable it?
