Currently we are experiencing problems when we try to query wikipedia.
Fetching content via the Wikipedia API can be a lot easier in our
opinion. The problem we have is that it is possible to fetch content via
the property "rvsection", which will accept a value (number) which
represents the section number starting from the top section to the
bottom section. This is a very "dangerous" way of fetching content. When
there is another section inserted on top of the page, all section
numbers will be moved 1 up.
A better way for fetching content via an API is to assign a unique ID to
a section, a paragraph, a table, an image etc. This way we could simply
fetch a part of the content of wikipedia via this ID.
I would like to know if my problem is shared with other developers
inside the Wikipedia API team.
Kind regards,
