When list=allusers is used with auactiveusers, a property 'recenteditcount'
is returned in the result. In bug 67301[1] it was pointed out that this
property is including various other logged actions, and so should really be
named something like "recentactions".
Gerrit change 130093,[2] merged today, adds the "recentactions" result
property. "recenteditcount" is also returned for backwards compatability,
but will be removed at some point during the MediaWiki 1.25 development
cycle.
Any clients using this property should be updated to use the new property
name. The new property will be available on WMF wikis with 1.24wmf12, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.24/Roadmap for the schedule.

As of 1.27.0-wmf.22 (deployed to WMF wikis April 26-28) and MediaWiki
release 1.27 (specifically, this change
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rECHOb10bd700333d2eef10c7df0a9946b87fd451…>
in Echo), meta=notifications will return its result as an array rather than
an object.
Previously, the meta=notifications output looked like:
{
"query": {
"notifications": {
"list": {
"12345": {
"id": "12345",
"type": "edit-user-talk",
...
},
...
}
Now, it looks like:
{
"query": {
"notifications": {
"list": [
{
"id": "12345",
"type": "edit-user-talk",
...
},
...
]
My apologies for the late announcement, and thanks to APerson and Cienca Al
Poder for noticing <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T138690> and
encouraging me to write this announcement.
