The following API call used to work until a few days ago: http://www.wikisource.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=statistics&format=json It would return the same thing as: http://wikisource.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=statistics&format=json Now it ends up redirecting to: https://wikisource.org/wiki/Main_Page which doesn't seem like the ideal behavior. Can we get API calls to www.wikisource.org to work again?
Change 90764 had a related patch set uploaded by Reedy: www.wikisource.org is not a portal, redirect to wikisource.org https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/90764
Considering it's not an actual site, but a forced redirect to the non www version... You should probably also change your script to hit the non www version
(In reply to comment #2) > Considering it's not an actual site, but a forced redirect to the non www > version... > > You should probably also change your script to hit the non www version I know how to fix it on my end. I'm asking can we not redirect API calls the same way we do regular page calls? After all, http://www.wikisource.org/wiki/Special:Statistics still brings up the same page as https://wikisource.org/wiki/Special:Statistics not https://wikisource.org/wiki/Main_Page
Change 90764 merged by Akosiaris: www.wikisource.org is not a portal, but a redirect to wikisource.org https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/90764
The link from the description works again. Thanks for catching this.
