Folks, Can anyone please tell me the most reliable way to request an article page using Media wiki API without fear of getting redirected?
I found that using title to query is not reliable as I have seen titles changing when more articles with same/similar titles are being added. Some of the older titles now lead to generic page stating this title might mean one of the following in the list and a list of article pages links are shown below this message. . I want to avoid getting redirected to this generic page and always stay on the article page as I plan to show this Wikipedia content on my numerous sub-domain home pages. Is there a page id that I can use which doesn't change at all and is always associate to same article? If so, how can I query the page id using current titles? Any examples and pointers is very much appreciated.
