Token[edit | edit source]
To change the page language for a page, an edit token is required via action=tokens or by using the following method:
Obtaining a token
| Result |
|---|
<?xml version="1.0"?> <api> <tokens edittoken="2efb624b1c9fde05eb8d7f84be441673+\" /> </api> |
Changing page language[edit | edit source]
The language for a page can be changed using action=pagelang.
Parameters[edit | edit source]
titles: A list of titleslang: The target language for the page(s), if not set taken as default wiki language.token: The token obtained in the previous request. Take care to urlencode the+as%2B.
Don't forget to append = even to parameters with no value, for example &lang doesn't work, &lang= does work
Example[edit | edit source]
Note: In this example, all parameters are passed in a GET request just for the sake of simplicity. However, action=pagelang requires POST requests; GET requests will cause an error.
