Description

The MediaWiki REST API docs for /search/page and search/title endpoints are missing the anchor property,

Compare:

However, this does not cause any of the OpenAPI validation tests to fail. Undocumented properties are a common cause of out-of-date documentation, so it would be great if the tests could catch this. One thing to try could be setting additionalProperties to false in the schema.
