Folks,
Can anyone please tell me the most reliable way to request an article page using Media
wiki API without fear of getting redirected?
I found that using title to query is not reliable as I have seen titles changing when more
articles with same/similar titles are being added. Some of the older titles now lead to
generic page stating this title might mean one of the following in the list and a list of
article pages links are shown below this message. . I want to avoid getting redirected to
this generic page and always stay on the article page as I plan to show this Wikipedia
content on my numerous sub-domain home pages.
Is there a page id that I can use which doesn't change at all and is always associate
to same article? If so, how can I query the page id using current titles? Any examples
and pointers is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ravi
