Last night I tweaked the listing at https://en.wikipedia.org/api/ to read:
* Action API, providing rich queries, editing and content access. * REST API v1, mainly focused on high-volume content access. The "PHP" prefix seemed to confuse some, thinking that it was a PHP-specific API. Another suggestion was to call it "MediaWiki Action API", in the hope of getting better name recognition. However, both APIs have a claim to be MediaWiki APIs in the wider sense, so this distinction might only be meaningful in the short term.
