Thread:Project:Support desk/'Parse' action no longer working

Earlier today, my API requests using the parse action began failing, returning the unknown_action error.

Here is an example request, which until a few hours ago returned a JSON object containing the parsed wiki text for the requested page:

http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=parse&page=Main_Page&uselang=en&format=json&redirects

However now I am getting the following error:

{"error":{"code":"unknown_action","info":"Unrecognized value for parameter 'action': parse"}}

Furthermore, the examples given in the API documentation for this method are also failing:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&text=foo%20bar%20

Has parse been removed from the list of valid actions?
