because right now commons.wikipedia.org is already redirecting to wikimedia
if you change this behavior now, you may confuse some people who were expecting it to redirect... but I don't really care

How is that meant to pervent confusion? you are just sticking a extra ".api" in the address.

What about inserting another domain just to prevent confusion and to keep current redirects, which would ONLY allow api, such as
commons.api.wikipedia.org
the *.api.<project> would just be some kind of universal api gateway for all domains

commons.wikipedia.org already redirects to commons.wikimedia.org (for historical reasons, maybe), so that has to be considered.
Yes, it redirects. But to solve the problem I'm describing, the API would need to be served from commons.wikipedia.org.
I think what you're proposing is also kind of confusing and I'm wondering if there aren't better ways to approach the problem.
I'm open to suggestions, but I'd rather not wait until CentralAuth gets completely redesigned and rewritten.
