Call for testing -- Wikimedia REST API Lint Endpoint Rerouting

Hello Wikimedia REST API users!

As part of the RESTBase Sunsetting project
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T262315>, we are rerouting the lint
endpoints in the Wikimedia REST API
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_REST_API> through MediaWiki. Both
page and transform lint endpoints are affected. This change is expected to
be seamless and non-breaking. However, because this work involves a service
change, we would like your help to ensure that no tools, bots, or other
integrations relying on these endpoints are negatively impacted.

*==== Impacted endpoints ====*
Lint endpoints offered by the Wikimedia REST API
<https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/> (under the /api/rest_v1/ path) are
being rerouted. No other endpoints are affected. The specific endpoints are
limited to:

GET /page/lint/{title}/
GET /page/lint/{title}/{revision}


POST /transform/wikitext/to/lint
POST /transform/wikitext/to/lint/{title}
POST /transform/wikitext/to/lint/{title}/{revision}




*==== Timeline & next steps ==== *
The rerouted endpoints are currently live on test.wikipedia.org -- please
feel free to test and verify functionality there at your earliest
convenience.

Assuming no issues are observed or reported, we plan to utilize the
following deployment schedule:

   - *Tuesday, Oct 28*: Rerouting is live on test and test2 wikis.
   - *Monday, Nov 3*: Enable rerouting on Group 0 wikis.
   - *Tuesday, Nov 4*: Enable rerouting on Group 1 wikis.
   - *Thursday, Nov 6*: Enable rerouting on all remaining wikis.



*==== How to report issues ====*
Please see T384216 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T384216> for more
information, or to report any observed issues or changes in behavior
related to this rerouting. You may also reply directly to this email, or
file a new ticket to the MediaWiki Interfaces team board
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/6931/>.


Thanks,
Halley
