Change Details

**NOT READY!** == Background Information There has been some effort to migrate away from the /page/related endpoint on WMF products and as we complete that migration, this endpoint will be shut off. Because it's an experimental endpoint, we will find a convenient timeline to do it as soon as possible. == What Like we did for MCS in {T328036} we should block the requests before removing the code. == Why is safe to block requests It's safe to block the requests for the following reasons: - Looking at the requests data, no relevant clients consume it and the majority of the requests are attempts to exploit the endpoint - We do need to clarify what we should do about the long tail requests coming from iOS apps - The endpoints are marked as experimental and the REST API policy can be applied in this case == Date to block the requests TBD
