As pointed out by Legoktm, you have to specify the format to receive json. The original URL should work without the callback function specified (jquery does this automatically when dataType is specified to jsonp).

Hi Kristian,
Thanks for your help. I have removed the callback parameter (and the format=jsonfm) from the below url and have also changed the $.ajax call as you advise. Consequently, I am no longer getting the error I previously was. However, I am getting the below error:
Actually you should pass format=json if you want JSON to be returned. If no format parameter is specified, the API defaults to "xmlfm", which is an HTML representation of the XML format. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Data_formats#Output for some more details.
