Thread:Project:Current issues/Adding a dev namespace for "Data and developer hub" articles/reply (21)

While I welcome the focusing of scope around the better-defined "web APIs" designation, I think we must keep in mind that api.php is a mediawiki feature that all MW wikis will have access to, while other web APIs depend on WMF infrastructure and Wikimedia wikis' content. On the other hand, other MW features don't have their own namespace, so I guess it might work to transition the namespace to include other APIs. The problem remains of confusion between "the" MW API (api.php) and other APIs, but that's a transversal issue to the namespace discussion. If we make sure api.php documentation remains well organized and navigable, I suppose it could work.
