There appears to be some sort of bug affecting a
subset of pages that
started happening yesterday night. Certain <img src=> tags on
Wikipedia's API are being served with an invalid URL, missing the
scheme in front:
<img
src="//bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.17/common/images/magnify-clip.png&qu…
This is seen on
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&page=Cereal
However certain other pages, such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&page=Actinide appear to
be fine.
Please let me know if this e-mail should go to some Wikipedia list instead.
This is due to the change to protocol-releative URIs. See [1] for
details of the feature, and for the announcement on how this affects the
API.
