If you really need to do so anyway, you might accept data as a JSON string, or possibly you might use the "templated parameters" added in 1.32. MediaWiki now (since 1.34) also has a REST API. There the convention is to accept JSON data structures via POST or PUT, ideally validated against a JSON Schema of some sort. -- Brad Jorsch (Anomie) Senior Software Engineer Wikimedia Foundation
