| Description | Enable PHP based routing of URLs in MediaWiki to enable REST along with an easy way for developers to specify caching and purging semantics. The routing should be fast and preferably not require all of MediaWiki to be loaded in order to start. Routing patterns should be standard both in and outside of MW. This should be transparent to clients. |
