API should allow querying user contribs by userid
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Add a ucuserid parameter to be used instead of ucuser.

Requested on the API mailing list.

@Halfak also mentioned the following examples:

  • list=usercontribs allows for ucusers -- should have something like ucuserids
  • prop=revisions allows for rvuser and rvexcludeuser -- should have something like rvuserid and rvexcludeuserid
  • list=users allows for ususers -- should have something like ususerids
  • meta=globaluserinfo allows for guiuser -- should have something like guiuserid that takes a global user ID

All that should be done is to modify the code of the file ApiQueryUserContributions.php to take ucuserid instead of ucuser names ?
Or it is better to keep both ?

It would be essential to keep both.

I started working on this task.
I have one question, does anonymous users have userid ?

They do not -- not exactly. But the database generally records a rev_user value of 0. Should we allow querying of anons with rev_user=0?

For the moment I will skip anonymous users because they do not have a userid. It is always 0 so I cannot tell who is who.

The original report here is now resolved. I've created subtasks for the tangentially-related bits that weren't done here.
