- Wikidata (wikidata client only) and communities (frwiki, hewiki, ruwiki)
code is misaligned by removing JS API interface to wikidata that is used by
gadgets -> functionality broken -> regression. to get it resolved we need to
re-align them
- communities code can adapt to new API-less wikidata (develop their own
wrappers to API)
- wikidata code can return removed code
- (or anything in between)
Amir - the point that I think that is missed here is that API, unlike other
modules is intended to expose functionality for developers for extending
capabilities.
If API is useful for Wikidata itself (entityChangers, edittoolbar,
formatters, parsers, PageConnector) - it is useful.
If API is deprecated for Wikidata itself - e.g in the long term we would like
to get rid of it also in Wikidata repository itself
There could be pros and cons for each direction (less JS code to maintain -
keeping only mw.Api, more easily to locate code that use API etc - having
mw.RepoApi, alignment to mw ecosystem with core/resources/src/mediawiki.api
resources that expose API to JS). and I think a good discussion on this is
missing, and this is not just "performance" which doesn't seem to be good
argument in regards to API resource.
