Entity |
This is preliminary documentation and is subject to change.
Member name | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
None | 0 | No special options. |
Bot | 1 | Mark the edit as bot edit. |
Progressive | 2 | Forces progressive edit, even if WCL is creating a new item. This option cannot be used with Bulk and ClearData. |
Bulk | 4 | Forces bulk edit, even if WCL is editing an existing item with less than 5 items of changes. |
ClearData | 12 | Clears all the existing data of the entity before making the changes. This option implies Bulk flag. |
StrictEditConflictDetection | 13 | When performing progressive edit, check for edit conflicts on every MediaWiki API request, instead of only checking for conflict before sending the first API request. |
Progressive edit makes one change per MediaWiki API request, and will leave more detailed edit summary on the Wiki. If one of the requests fails, previously made changes will still be kept anyway.
By default, if you are editing an existing item, with less than 5 items of changes, WikiClientLibrary will choose progressive edit rather than bulk one.
