Description:
If I do a query using the recentchanges list with rctype=new, the rcid is given in the results. This seems to be the only way to retrieve the rcid for a new page creation using the API, while commonsense might suggest that a query for the first revision of a page (eg http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&titles=Judith%20Wood&rvdir=newer&rvlimit=1&rvprop=timestamp|ids ) would show it.
The rcid is needed to construct a URL in order to mark a page patrolled (on en.wikipedia).
