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.

I've just deployed the ApiFeatureUsage extension to Beta Labs for testing.
If an API client (e.g. a bot or a user script) sets a unique User-Agent or
Api-User-Agent header, a summary of deprecated API features hit by that
client may be fetched from Special:ApiFeatureUsage[1] or from the API
itself.[2]
Please try it out, and report any issues in Phabricator using the
MediaWiki-extension-ApiFeatureUsage project. If things look good after
testing I'll be looking at getting it deployed to production in the next
month or so.
