This is a nice idea.
You can use the cache, if that query is to expensive (like the help page).

It is possible to have this for 1.20?
enwiki has right now 48 action modules and 54 query modules. Due to the limit of 50 for the querymodules param, you have to use two queries to getting the information about all modules.
Thanks.

This would vastly simplify the Pywikibot startup sequence. (we'd still need a complex mess due to backwards compatibility, but we could shove that mess off to a subclass).
Also helpful would be to remove the limits for this module; there is a hard upper limit defined on the server : the number of modules installed, so the limit is of limited value for paraminfo.

The specific request here is now possible by specifying [[https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=paraminfo&modules=main%7Cmain%2B**|modules=main|main+**]]. You can also fetch just the query submodules with [[https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=paraminfo&modules=query%2B*|modules=query+*]], for example. This should be deployed to WMF wikis with 1.28.0-wmf.18.
