Detailed Description

API module to allow users to watch a page.

Member Function Documentation

Evaluates the parameters, performs the requested query, and sets up the result.

Concrete implementations of ApiBase must override this method to provide whatever functionality their module offers. Implementations must not produce any output on their own and are not expected to handle any errors.

The execute() method will be invoked directly by ApiMain immediately before the result of the module is output. Aside from the constructor, implementations should assume that no other methods will be called externally on the module before the result is processed.

The result data should be stored in the ApiResult object available through getResult().

Reimplemented from ApiBase.

Returns the description string for this module.

Returns:
string|array

Reimplemented from ApiBase.

Definition at line 200 of file ApiWatch.php.

Returns usage examples for this module.

Return false if no examples are available.

Returns:
bool|string|array

References array().

Returns:
bool|string|array Returns a false if the module has no help URL, else returns a (array of) string

ApiWatch::getPageSet ( ) [private]

Get a cached instance of an ApiPageSet object.

Returns:
ApiPageSet

Definition at line 152 of file ApiWatch.php.

Referenced by execute(), getAllowedParams(), and getParamDescription().

Returns an array of parameter descriptions.

Don't call this function directly: use getFinalParamDescription() to allow hooks to modify descriptions as needed.

Returns:
array|bool False on no parameter descriptions

Reimplemented from ApiBase.

Definition at line 189 of file ApiWatch.php.

References array(), and getPageSet().

Indicates whether this module requires write mode.

Returns:
bool

Reimplemented from ApiBase.

Definition at line 164 of file ApiWatch.php.

Indicates whether this module must be called with a POST request.

Returns:
bool

Reimplemented from ApiBase.

Definition at line 160 of file ApiWatch.php.

Returns the token type this module requires in order to execute.

Modules are strongly encouraged to use the core 'csrf' type unless they have specialized security needs. If the token type is not one of the core types, you must use the ApiQueryTokensRegisterTypes hook to register it.

Returning a non-falsey value here will cause self::getFinalParams() to return a required string 'token' parameter and self::getFinalParamDescription() to ensure there is standardized documentation for it. Also, self::mustBePosted() must return true when tokens are used.

In previous versions of MediaWiki, true was a valid return value. Returning true will generate errors indicating that the API module needs updating.

Returns:
string|false
