Hi, while tinkering with a RESTful content API I was reminded of an old pet peeve of mine: The URLs we use in Wikimedia projects are relatively long and ugly. I believe that we now have the ability to clean this up if we want to.
It would be nice to * drop the /wiki/ prefix https://en.wikipedia.org/Foo instead of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo * use simple action urls https://en.wikipedia.org/Foo?action=history instead of https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Foo&action=history The details of this proposal are discussed in the following RFC: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Clean_up_URLs I'm looking forward to your input!
