Description Umherirrender 2011-11-19 16:16:14 UTC 
It can be nice to use the pageid, when editing a existing page with the api. (action=edit)

Please make it possible to edit a page when specifiy the pageid not the page title.

Thanks.

API edit by page ID

This patch should let you edit through the API by providing a page ID instead of a page title.

I've given up asking.

It's useful for long and strange titles...

Looks like I'm going to have to correct myself again. :/
This patch is almost the same thing as the previous one, but using getRequireOnlyOneParameterErrorMessages instead, and without my unnecessary else statement.
Comment 6 Umherirrender 2012-02-20 19:52:19 UTC 
Usecase: Computer can better handle numbers than text. The title can get long and can have UTF-8, which makes some programms problems. You can save bandwidth, heap space, need no urlencode for this part. For languages with variants you does not have to handle that and it is easy to check, if the title is the same.

In my opinion there are many usecases for using a pageid rather a namespace-prefixed title.
