Starting on July, 2 we will drop support for action=parse returning WML content. WAP is a rotting corpse for many years already. Note that we're retaining support for mobileformat=html however it will eventually become a no-op as we're planning to deprecate as many HTML transformations for mobile as possible.
Max, do you know if the Wikipedia J2ME app depends on WML output from the API? If so then we'll need to plan a transition plan for them.

Hi Max, What is supposed to replace action=parse&mobileformat=html ? When is this supposed to be deprecated. Best Regards, Asher Szmulewicz

Because it will become a no-op, you will just be transparently using the generic action=parse.

AFAIK, they use action=mobileview (HTML-only) which allows much more granularity in what gets returned and how much of it.

Dan, can you confirm how the J2ME app is pulling content?
