Mediawiki Ruby gem has this for get_wikitext method:
def get_wikitext(title)
@conn.get '/w/index.php', action: 'raw', title: title
endOn Mediawiki website itself /w/index.php gives either 404 or redirects to main page.
I reckon the directory should be configurable or just be a plain /index.php.

@Oreolek: could you please provide information on where is this causing a problem? Is it related to T144912: MEDIAWIKI_URL may be set to incorrect value in mwext-mw-selenium job?
Might be the cause but not an effect; it's making Ruby gem unusable as-is on some wikis. To make it work one would extend MWClient class — like this, perhaps:
require 'mediawiki_api'
class MWClient < MediawikiApi::Client
def get_wikitext(title)
@conn.get '/index.php', action: 'raw', title: title
end
endwhich might be not the best code when you're working with several wikis. There's no mention of it in the documentation AFAIK.
Thanks for the quick reply!
I guess I was not explicit enough. To fix the problem, I have to be able to reproduce it.
Can you point me to the code that fails because of this method, or provide a simple example?
Here's my example code: https://git.oreolek.ru/oreolek/mediawiki_mwe
The script should say 200, not 404.
mediawiki_api Ruby gem was used by Selenium Ruby framework. Since the framework deprecated, I'm not sure if anybody ever will have the time to work on this. Should this be declined?
Similar to T102726.
