Wikibase UI uses deprecated parameter "parser" in wbparsevalue
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

When debugging T325427: Reduce the number of web requests in Wikibase UI I found that when editing statements with external-id datatype requests to https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbparsevalue&format=json&parser=external-id&values=%1F1234567&errorformat=plaintext&uselang=zh&options=%7B%22lang%22%3A%22zh%22%7D is made which reports warning 'The parameter "parser" has been deprecated.'

Event Timeline

Hm, I seem to remember an old existing task for this, but I can’t find it now.

We should fix this, but my recollection is that I looked a bit into it and it wasn’t quite as straightforward as it might seem at first. (But it’s probably still doable.)

T233293 looks like it was a previous attempt by you, Lucas. And indeed it seems not to be that straightforward.
