Hello Wikimedia REST API users!

As part of the RESTBase Sunsetting project, we are rerouting the lint endpoints in the Wikimedia REST API through MediaWiki. Both page and transform lint endpoints are affected. This change is expected to be seamless and non-breaking. However, because this work involves a service change, we would like your help to ensure that no tools, bots, or other integrations relying on these endpoints are negatively impacted.

==== Impacted endpoints ====
Lint endpoints offered by the Wikimedia REST API (under the /api/rest_v1/ path) are being rerouted. No other endpoints are affected. The specific endpoints are limited to:
GET /page/lint/{title}/
GET /page/lint/{title}/{revision}

POST /transform/wikitext/to/lint
POST /transform/wikitext/to/lint/{title}
POST /transform/wikitext/to/lint/{title}/{revision}



==== Timeline & next steps ====
The rerouted endpoints are currently live on test.wikipedia.org -- please feel free to test and verify functionality there at your earliest convenience.

Assuming no issues are observed or reported, we plan to utilize the following deployment schedule:
  • Tuesday, Oct 28: Rerouting is live on test and test2 wikis.
  • Monday, Nov 3: Enable rerouting on Group 0 wikis.
  • Tuesday, Nov 4: Enable rerouting on Group 1 wikis.
  • Thursday, Nov 6: Enable rerouting on all remaining wikis.


==== How to report issues ====
Please see T384216 for more information, or to report any observed issues or changes in behavior related to this rerouting. You may also reply directly to this email, or file a new ticket to the MediaWiki Interfaces team board.


Thanks,
Halley
