If I access 

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=visualeditor&mobileformat=html&format=json&paction=parse&page=Timeline_of_the_COVID-19_pandemic_in_Canada

I get back

However https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_COVID-19_pandemic_in_Canada does return a page

If I access

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=visualeditor&mobileformat=html&format=json&paction=parse&page=Gout

I get legitimate json. So the api does seem to be working.

And https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gout returns a page

I'm not sure how to proceed. After a number of hours it has not yet resolved.
