Is it `get_redirect_target`, `getredirecttarget` or `getRedirectTarget`? And as soon as `getRedirectTarget` is deprecated it just could call `get_redirect_target` and if that call fails at some point because of an update, `get_redirect_target` has been broken anyway. I can agree with private stuff, because those aren't in the official API so renaming them shouldn't be a problem. With scripts it depends if they are packaged, but even when I don't have a problem if those aren't compliant. And I might be okay with some names if they are directly connected with the API. But apart from that it should be consistent, including the arguments because there is the same guessing problem. For example `Page.getVersionHistory` has a parameter `reverseOrder`, so there we could fix both in one step: Just deprecate the method and call the newly added method `get_version_history` which now has `reverse` (or `reverse_order`).

XZise added a comment. But even if not, the MW API is not static (see query continue) and thus it's unreasonable to have names which might not make sense anymore in the future. Additionally for someone who doesn't understand how api.php works, this will also confuse further, and what happens if an argument is not directly mapped to something on the API, should that now follow PEP-8 or not?
