Evidence-backed facts

  1. Wikimedia Foundation documents MediaWiki page, revision, history, search, transform, and site data through REST endpoints. informative
  2. Public reads are separate from authenticated write operations; access does not grant editor identity, page authority, moderation, or factual-verification authority. informative
  3. Clients must bind project host, API version, page title or ID, revision, language, representation, conditional headers, and rate guidance. informative
  4. Wiki content is collaborative and mutable, can be disputed or reverted, and does not independently prove factual accuracy, neutrality, identity, or permanence. informative
