BGP based VPLS - wiki uses unavailable syntax

I tried to configure a bgp based VPLS instance based on:

http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/BGP_based_VPLS

When you get to the instructions for actually instantiating the service the page gives the example:

[admin@R1] /interface vpls bgp-vpls> add bridge=A bridge-horizon=1 route-distinguisher=1:1 site-id=1 vpls-id=100:1 [admin@R1] /interface vpls bgp-vpls> add bridge=B bridge-horizon=1 route-distinguisher=2:2 site-id=1 vpls-id=100:2

The "vpls-id" statement though is not an option in RouterOS 3.23+. From my router:

[admin@A] > /interface vpls bgp-vpls set customer1 ?
Change properties of one or several items.

<numbers> -- List of item numbers
bridge -- 
bridge-cost -- 
bridge-horizon -- 
comment -- Set comment for items
disabled -- 
export-route-targets -- 
import-route-targets -- 
name -- Interface name
route-distinguisher -- 
site-id --

Without this option the VPLS will not come up. Is there another way to configure this service or is it just broken in the current release?

Thanks

This particular page is a little out of date. 'vpls-id' got replaced with separate import/export-route-targets to provide more flexibility and to make MT VPLS implementation more similar to other vendors. Instead of specifying vpls-id=1:2 you now specify both - mport-route-targets=1:2 and export-route-targets=1:2.
