Halley Coplin pointed out that the search results for “Wikipedia API” aren’t great, so I had a look and now I’m intrigued by this “preview” for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API – I highly doubt that text shows up on the article…

@LucasWerkmeister Oh, DuckDuckGo has been doing that for a while now, especially for Wikipedia articles. I think they’re getting it from Bing https://chaos.social/@pb/112812963612005171

dear #wmhack! in about 1½ hours (at 15:15 CEST), I’m doing a presentation about Cool New Things In JS + CSS (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T423292) in space 5!
come join me to hear about loads of new JavaScript (and some CSS) features that we’re allowed to use in MediaWiki code more or less recently (since we dropped support for some older browsers)
