Ah, ok. That would make it hard to keep /w/api.php working. /_w/api.php would not suffer from that problem, but then current API users would break.
So I guess that kills the /wiki/ removal in the shorter term. Maybe we should however consider using something like /_w/ if we ever introduce a new API entry point to avoid conflicts with valid article names in the future.
I disagree. Having separate naming conventions for our entry points just makes things more inconsistent. Also I don't think it's even necessary in the first place to get rid of the /wiki/. It doesn't look messy at all.
