Hi, I have a question about the functionality of the API on zh.wikipedia.org:
It appears that the API isn't performing redirects that involve conversion of certain simplified Chinese page titles to traditional, but these redirects _are_ supported by the wiki's frontend. For example:
Other simplified to traditional redirects do work in both the frontend and the API. For example both
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/中国and
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/中?? lead to the same page. I do notice that here, unlike in my previous example, the request for the simplified title shows on the page that the results are a redirect (
(重定向自中国)), so something different must be going on.
Does anyone know what's going on here, or is there another Chinese language forum I should address this question to?
Many thanks,
Joel
