Subject: In some API calls the order of the parameters is important
In some API calls the order of the parameters is important. E.g., action=parse. Alas there are no methods on the man page saying how to achieve that. One must just cross one's fingers and hope the luck of the hash will play out.

(Entering reply via website, as mail is not getting through.) Well all I know is https://www.google.com/search?q=in+some+API+calls+the+order+of+the+parameters+is+important And OK, if not now, maybe one day, &chapter=6&chapter=5 will retrieve the items in the wrong order. Yes multiple calls with a parameter of the same name. All legal according to the RFCs.
