At fotopedia, we use action=parse in the following contexts:

- server side for displayable text retrieval:
/w/api.php?action=parse&format=json&prop=text&page=....

These texts are cached on our side for 30 days. So it only happens when
somebody tries to display an article page on fotopedia for the first time in a
month. Before the API endpoint was unactivated yesterday, we were only
requiring a dozen of pages a minute.

Right now, this part of fotopedia works fine, as long as the users don't wander
in unexplored pages.

- client side for both article search and displayable text retrieval

These queries are triggered when a user adds a wikipedia article to a fotopedia
page. The typical scenario is a search, followed by a series of:
/w/api.php?action=parse&format=xml&prop=text&page=....

We only have a handful of regular users of the client software, so I don't
expect this to be a threat to wikipedia server stability either. On the other
hand, the impact on their side is important for us business-wise.
