Timestamps may be specified in several formats, see [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Timestamp|the Timestamp library input formats documented on mediawiki.org]] for details. ISO 8601 date and time is recommended: <kbd><var>2001</var>-<var>01</var>-<var>15</var>T<var>14</var>:<var>56</var>:<var>00</var>Z</kbd>. Additionally, the string <kbd>now</kbd> may be used to specify the current timestamp.

The <var>revids</var> parameter may not be used with the list options (<var>$1limit</var>, <var>$1startid</var>, <var>$1endid</var>, <kbd>$1dir=newer</kbd>, <var>$1user</var>, <var>$1excludeuser</var>, <var>$1start</var>, and <var>$1end</var>).

<kbd>section=new</kbd> cannot be combined with the <var>oldid</var>, <var>pageid</var> or <var>page</var> parameters. Please use <var>title</var> and <var>text</var>.

<var>titles</var>, <var>pageids</var> or a generator was used to supply multiple pages, but the <var>$1limit</var>, <var>$1startid</var>, <var>$1endid</var>, <kbd>$1dir=newer</kbd>, <var>$1user</var>, <var>$1excludeuser</var>, <var>$1start</var>, and <var>$1end</var> parameters may only be used on a single page.

Specify <kbd>$1user=#<var>ID</var></kbd> instead.

Specify <kbd>$1user=#<var>ID</var></kbd> instead.

Specify <kbd>$1user=#<var>ID</var></kbd> instead.

You must specify a valid timestamp for the <var>sortkey</var> parameter. It should be in the form YYYYMMddhhmmss, a unix timestamp or <kbd>now</kbd>.

Modules to display help for (values of the <var>action</var> and <var>format</var> parameters, or <kbd>main</kbd>). Can specify submodules with a <kbd>+</kbd>.

Timestamps passed to <var>$1changedsince</var> cannot be older than <kbd>$2</kbd>.

Input to MediaWiki should be NFC-normalized UTF-8. MediaWiki may attempt to convert other input, but this may cause some operations (such as [[Special:ApiHelp/edit|edits]] with MD5 checks) to fail.

Some parameter types in API requests need further explanation:
;boolean
:Boolean parameters work like HTML checkboxes: if the parameter is specified, regardless of value, it is considered true. For a false value, omit the parameter entirely.
;timestamp
:Timestamps may be specified in several formats, see [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Timestamp|the Timestamp library input formats documented on mediawiki.org]] for details. ISO 8601 date and time is recommended: <kbd><var>2001</var>-<var>01</var>-<var>15</var>T<var>14</var>:<var>56</var>:<var>00</var>Z</kbd>. Additionally, the string <kbd>now</kbd> may be used to specify the current timestamp.
;alternative multiple-value separator
:Parameters that take multiple values are normally submitted with the values separated using the pipe character, e.g. <kbd>param=value1|value2</kbd> or <kbd>param=value1%7Cvalue2</kbd>. If a value must contain the pipe character, use U+001F (Unit Separator) as the separator ''and'' prefix the value with U+001F, e.g. <kbd>param=%1Fvalue1%1Fvalue2</kbd>.

<var>$1project</var> and <var>$1title</var> must be used together.

Include the languages used for <var>uselang</var> and <var>errorlang</var> in the result.

The same field cannot be used in both <var>hide</var> and <var>show</var>.

The parameter <var>$1</var> may not be empty.

No 'to' revision. Specify <var>torev</var>, <var>totitle</var>, or <var>toid</var>.

Invalid value "$2" for timestamp parameter <var>$1</var>.

The parameters <var>$1templatesandboxtitle</var> and <var>$1templatesandboxtext</var> must both be specified or both be omitted.

See the various prop-modules of <kbd>[[Special:ApiHelp/query|action=query]]</kbd> to get information from the current version of a page.

There are several ways to specify the text to parse:
# Specify a page or revision, using <var>$1page</var>, <var>$1pageid</var>, or <var>$1oldid</var>.
# Specify content explicitly, using <var>$1text</var>, <var>$1title</var>, <var>$1revid</var>, and <var>$1contentmodel</var>.
# Specify only a summary to parse. <var>$1prop</var> should be given an empty value.

The <kbd>name</kbd> sort option cannot be used together with <var>$1changedsince</var>.

The encoded entity name, e.g. <kbd>Jade:Diff/123456</kbd>. One of <var>title</var> or <var>entitydata</var> is required.
