"E.g. https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q23&action=""> does not work." seems completely orthogonal to this task.
We already have /w/index.php, /w/api.php, and /wiki/ entry points. These are stable paths and we have more than ten years of evidence of this.
Using /raw/ would essentially be implementing action paths (cf. T19981: Short URLs for history pages (set up wgActionPaths for Wikimedia sites))? Part of the beauty of using /wiki/ is that it's vaguely more internationalized. During discussions of proposals to change /wiki/ to use action paths such as /view/ or /history/, using only English-language verbs in the URL has been criticized for its lack of localization.
Maybe I'm still just missing the obvious, but with a move toward "multi-content revisions," I would think the concept of wanting to get "all the data from the English Wikipedia's Barack Obama article" (i.e., /data/Barack_Obama) would become even murkier and ill-defined. I still don't understand who the audience is and what their use-cases are for this proposed new entry point. I guess I need to focus on T159517: [RFC] RDF mapping for geo-shape / URIs for commons data pages.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T161527EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: MZMcBrideCc: MZMcBride, Rybesh, Dzahn, GWicke, tstarling, Aklapper, Jonas, Smalyshev, mkroetzsch, Lydia_Pintscher, daniel, QZanden, Salgo60, D3r1ck01, Izno, suriyaa, Eevans, mobrovac, Hardikj, Wikidata-bugs, aude, jayvdb, Southparkfan, fbstj, RobLa-WMF, santhosh, Mbch331, Jay8g, Ltrlg, Glaisher, bd808, Krenair, Legoktm___
