It would help to surface api deprecation notices into the JavaScript console just like mw.deprecate does for more visibility. I haven't got time to review every single API response for every request mobile makes and I'm keen to help you be able to iterate on the API quicker... Jon On Fri, Apr

It doesn't seem like anyone's mentioned it yet, but it would be even nicer IMHO to not even worry about this class of problems by versioning the API itself. This way, you can provide an explicit upgrade path for actively-developed clients while keeping old versions around for legacy clients. As
