Last night I tweaked the listing at https://en.wikipedia.org/api/ to read:
* Action API, providing rich queries, editing and content access. * REST API v1, mainly focused on high-volume content access.
The "PHP" prefix seemed to confuse some, thinking that it was a PHP-specific API.
Another suggestion was to call it "MediaWiki Action API", in the hope of getting better name recognition. However, both APIs have a claim to be MediaWiki APIs in the wider sense, so this distinction might only be meaningful in the short term.

Since the current REST API is available under "v1", my take is "the v0 API" :-)
That name sucks because it implies that the REST API is supposed to replace it.
