Designed to provide long-term stability for developers, the MediaWiki REST API is versioned using a global version number in the API path (for example: ). Following the principles of semantic versioning, the version is incremented when an endpoint is changed in a backwards-incompatible way, such as removing a response property or adding a required parameter. Within a major version, the API may change in backwards-compatible ways, such as adding a response property or optional request parameter.
