Please see this unblock log entry for an example.

{
    "query": {
        "logevents": [
            {
                "logid": 20891507,
                "ns": 2,
                "title": "User:#1338201",
                "pageid": 0,
                "logpage": 0,
                "params": {},
                "type": "block",
                "action": "unblock",
                "user": "Mangojuice",
                "timestamp": "2009-03-04T00:35:07Z",
                "comment": "[[Wikipedia:Autoblock|Autoblock]] of [[User talk:<username>|<username>]]"
            }
        ]
    }
}

title="User:#1338201" gives the impression that it is a Mediawiki Page Title, but is in fact invalid...

In fact, the related sql entry in the logging table stores log_title as "#1338201"; I don't see why the title is prefixed by "User:"?! (Well, since log_ns is always equal to NS_USER for these entries, a Title object created from log_ns & log_title is likely to end up in User space, true...) Can this be avoided ?

Also, since title parameter (with or without User: prefix) should not be interpreted as a Page title, would it be possible to add a specific details field in the returned data to emphasize this?
autoblock="" ? flags="autoblock" ? (As of now, flags are unused for action="unblock")

Thanks!
