}I found it only in en.wiktionary API.
I'd like to know whether it works as intended or it is something exceptional.

I can reproduce something similar in Wikiquote: http://en.wikiquote.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=logevents&leaction=delete/revision&lelimit=1
The response is different:
http://en.wikiquote.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=logevents&leaction=delete/revision&lelimit=1

"logid": 2083563,
"ns": 0,

"0": "revision",

"3": "nfield=1", // string
"type": "delete",

"comment": "Copyright violation: Test edit to determine limit of quotation status - this version can be compared to the original"
}where the "2" and "3" params are strings, the problem is that the field has different types.
Trivial to reproduce this output locally as well - simply revdel something, and view api.php?action=query&list=logevents&leaction=delete/revision&lelimit=1 or api.php?action=query&list=recentchanges&rcprop=loginfo&rclimit=1. So this is not some weird site-specific thing.
The issue is
in http://en.wiktionary.org/w/api.php?action=query&continue=-||&rccontinue=20150329071532|32640824&list=recentchanges&rclimit=1&rcprop=loginfo , it is
{
...
"2": 0,
"3": 1,
...
}while in http://en.wikiquote.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=logevents&leaction=delete/revision&lelimit=1 , it is
{
...
"2": "ofield=0",
"3": "nfield=1",
...
}The description here doesn't explain things well at all. Is the problem that some log entries are having "ofield=0" as a string while others are having just 0 as an integer? If so, it's probably fallout from Gerrit change 152161, which screwed around with the logging format for revdel while trying to maintain BC with the rather useless formatting of old log entries from the API.
Gerrit change 183315 (T35235) should fix this sort of thing, although it will be a BC break.
