Hello everyone,

As part of the RESTBase Sunset effort, some endpoints will be phased out in
favor of better and more stable alternatives.

The /page/related
<https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/#/Page%20content/getRelatedPages>
endpoints are now ready for deprecation. This endpoint is marked as
experimental and its usage can be replaced by a call to the "morelike"
action API that already exists in MediaWiki and is stable. You can find an
example of how to migrate your code to this new endpoint here
<https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/services/mobileapps/+/982154/13/pagelib/src/transform/FooterReadMore.js>
.

Next steps: because this is an experimental endpoint, we decided to apply
the existing policy for REST endpoints
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API_versioning#Experimental> and turn it
off as soon as possible while still respecting Android and iOS old
versions' deprecation timeline. Traffic to this endpoint can blocked
starting Today, Feb 6th 2025 (02/06/2025) and code will be removed after
that. Details about the deprecation can be found in this phabricator task,
T376297 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T376297>.

Don't hesitate in getting in touch in case you have any questions or
concerns.

Best regards,
