Please increase top limitation from 500 to 1000

Hi Reza,
Thank you for using RTRC!

About your request, the maximum is not decided by RTRC. It is actually decided by the wiki software (MediaWiki). And for most queries, the limit is 500 results.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Lists#Limits https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query%2Brecentchanges (see rclimit)

This is the same as for when you viewing a query page on the wiki, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&action=history.

For bot accounts, the limit is 5000.

also at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Lists#Limits mentioned "5000 for users with the apihighlimits right (typically bots and sysops)" at least we can have up to 5000 for sysops. I checked at local wiki. as I am sysop it shows up to 5000 results.

Okay, I suppose we could make it conditional on a particular user right. RTRC already does this for control fields that depend on the patrol user right, for example.
