query-continue in list=usercontribs with multiple usernames (ucuser=foo|bar or ucuserprefix, user or IP) cannot query-continue completely: Example: if 217.121.144.89 has 500 edits and .90 has one chronologically in the middle, the query-continue will never find the one by .90: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=usercontribs&ucuserprefix=217.121.144 Another example with logged in users (sorted by userID in this case): http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=usercontribs&ucuser=Splarka|Tim_Starling Ideally, after listing all contributions by first users (numerically by IP, numerically by user ID), the next user's list would start. More ideally would to be sorting all matched users' contribs by time in a mixed format, but this was deemed too inefficient.
Created attachment 5449 [details] Patch The attached patch fixes this bug by introducing a uccontinue parameter which contains both the username and the timestamp to continue at. In single user mode (i.e. one username in ucuser), ucstart is still used as query-continue parameter.
