Hi, in some case, there's invalid chars in the output. The following query show that : http://wiki.guildwars.com/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&titles=Game link:Skill 2898&rvprop=content&format=php In "trunk/phase3/includes/Title.php" there's a code snippet which cleans these chars : # Strip Unicode bidi override characters. # Sometimes they slip into cut-n-pasted page titles, where the # override chars get included in list displays. $dbkey = preg_replace( '/\xE2\x80[\x8E\x8F\xAA-\xAE]/S', '', $dbkey ); When I get results from the API, I have to clean the content with this regex before using it (and it works). I don't know if this bug come from the API or the MediaWiki core code.
Where is the bug? When you ask for prop=revisions you get /exactly/ what you ask for: the contents of the page. In this case the contents are: "#REDIRECT [[self:Dark Aura (Deactivating R.O.X.)\u200e\u200e\u200e]]". The Title.php regex only strips these out when parsing the title (in this case, to make a redirect): http://wiki.guildwars.com/api.php?action=query&redirects&titles=Game%20link:Skill%202898
