Description Roan Kattouw 2007-10-05 13:21:18 UTC
Currently, the following modules have no limit parameter, but should have one:

prop=links
prop=langlinks
prop=images
prop=templates
prop=imageinfo
prop=categories
prop=extlinks

Props were designed not to have limits, because each property is just a list of items from a given page - they are all just substrings from one page's content, thus will never exceed max page size. Introducing limits and paging is not worth the overhead, and would over-complicate the design.

Never thought of that.
