Currently there is no proper way in Lua to get such
basic things about
the current page name. To fix this, I propose to provide a MediaWiki
API accessible from the Lua scripts:
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/API_specification>
Any feedback appreciated.

Is that local PHP bindings only or the remote MW API querying will be
possible? In MediaWiki, API usually means "do something remotely",
although local API usage is possible (except for very hard parts where
POST is required - but maybe that was fixed in recent versions of
Request / Response abstractions).
I am asking because when there are two different things called "API"
this may cause some confusion.
