ContentHandler-based delivery lists can be edited using the API with action=editmassmessagelist. You can also use the standard action=edit, but that requires serializing the JSON yourself, and will result in less specific error messages.

Parameters

  • spamlist - Title of the delivery list to update
  • add - Titles to add to the list
  • remove - Titles to remove from the list
  • token - Edit token from action=tokens

Example

For the sake of simplicity, all parameters are passed in a GET request in this example. However, this API action requires POST requests.
Result
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<api>
  <editmassmessagelist result="Done">
    <added>
      <page title="User talk:Foo" missing="" />
    </added>
    <invalidadd>
      <item invalidtitle="" xml:space="preserve">_</item>
    </invalidadd>
    <removed>
      <page title="User talk:Baz" />
    </removed>
    <invalidremove>
      <item>Baz</item>
    </invalidremove>
  </editmassmessagelist>
</api>
