TASK DESCRIPTION

Current result on https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?format=json&formatversion=1&action="">

{"entities":{"-1":{"site":"dewiki","title":"This title does not exist \u00e4\u00f6\u00fc","missing":""}},"success":1}

Current result on https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?format=json&formatversion=2&action="">


{"entities":{"-1":{"site":"dewiki","title":"This title does not exist äöü","missing":""}},"success":1}

formatversion=2 uses the UTF-8 encoding instead of the JSON string escaping for Unicode characters but not the modern JSON syntax like "missing":true instead of "missing":"".

Compare the core API changes from formatversion=1 https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?format=json&formatversion=1&action="">


{"batchcomplete":"","query":{"pages":{"-1":{"ns":0,"title":"This title does not exist \u00e4\u00f6\u00fc","missing":""}}}}

to formatversion=2 https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?format=json&formatversion=2&action="">


{"batchcomplete":true,"query":{"pages":[{"ns":0,"title":"This title does not exist äöü","missing":true}]}}
