There *might* be, in theory. In practice I doubt that there are any articles starting with 'w/'. To avoid future conflicts, we should probably prefix private paths with an underscore as titles cannot start with it (and REST APIs often use it for special resources). >> * use simple action urls >> https://en.wikipedia.org/Foo?action=history instead of >> https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Foo&action=history >> > > This already works. Both parts of the proposal have been working for a long time. The RFC is mainly about using the capability in Wikimedia projects.
