             Bug #: 42286
           Summary: API and audience
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: WikidataRepo

    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


The API should enforce audience public for all requests that are GET, not "must
revalidate" and "maxage" or "smaxage". Otherwise the request is private.

To make it somewhat simpler we could say that GET is public and POST is
private, and if "maxage" or "smaxage" is set then it is always public.

The reason for this is caching that may leak information.
