the mw.Api instance seems to be for the local wiki.
* After a client performs an action which alters a database that has replica databases,
MediaWiki will wait for the replica databases to synchronize with the master database
- while it renders the HTML output. However, if the output is a redirect, it will instead
- alter the redirect URL to include a ?cpPosTime parameter that triggers the database
- synchronization when the URL is followed by the client.

=== External library changes in 1.28 ===
MediaWiki\Linker\LinkRenderer. In addition, the LinkBegin and LinkEnd hooks
were replaced by HtmlPageLinkRendererBegin and HtmlPageLinkRendererEnd
respectively. See docs/hooks.txt for the specific changes needed for those hooks.
+* Linker::formatSize() was deprecated. Use Language::formatSize() directly.
* Aliases for Linker methods, deprecated since 1.21, were removed from Skin:
* Skin::commentBlock() (use Linker::commentBlock() instead)
* Skin::generateRollback() (use Linker::generateRollback() instead)
phpunit.php: --regex and --keep-uploads. Instead of --regex, use --filter.
Instead of --keep-uploads, use the same option to parserTests.php, but you
must specify a directory with --upload-dir.
+ * The 'jquery.arrowSteps' ResourceLoader module is now deprecated.
