Bug #: 37745
Summary: re-asses support for action=raw
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo

Mobile Platform: ---
action=raw is current not supported for Wikibase items. The ContentHandler
branch will send a 406 Not Acceptable response if action=raw is used with
non-text content.
This was done after some discussion on #mediawiki, the reasoning being that
a) sending anon editable data with potentially dangerous mime types is a bad
idea
b) action=raw is a legacy interface and really deprecated
action=raw could, in theory, just return a serialized version of the content,
using the gen= parameter as a hint to how to serialize the content. The
benefits and downsides of this should be re-assessed.
