Where would we put the API entry point? It can't be at

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).
Both parts of the proposal have been working for a long time. The RFC is
mainly about using the capability in Wikimedia projects.
