         *   like HTML checkboxes). PARAM_DFLT must be boolean false, if specified.

         *   PARAM_RANGE_ENFORCE.

         *   see PARAM_MIN), and requires that PARAM_MAX and PARAM_MAX2 be
         *   specified. Cannot be used with PARAM_ISMULTI.
         * - namespace: An integer representing a MediaWiki namespace. Forces PARAM_ALL = true to
         *   support easily specifying all namespaces.
         * - NULL: Any string.
         * - password: Any non-empty string. Input value is private or sensitive.
         *   <input type="password"> would be an appropriate HTML form field.
         * - string: Any non-empty string, not expected to be very long or contain newlines.
         *   <input type="text"> would be an appropriate HTML form field.
         * - submodule: The name of a submodule of this module, see PARAM_SUBMODULE_MAP.
         * - tags: A string naming an existing, explicitly-defined tag. Should usually be
         *   used with PARAM_ISMULTI.
         * - text: Any non-empty string, expected to be very long or contain newlines.
         *   <textarea> would be an appropriate HTML form field.
         * - timestamp: A timestamp in any format recognized by MWTimestamp, or the
         *   string 'now' representing the current timestamp. Will be returned in
         *   TS_MW format.
         * - user: A MediaWiki username or IP. Will be returned normalized but not canonicalized.
