RFC: Per-language URLs for multilingual wiki pages

<gwicke> purodha summarizes this question well in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114662#2005122
Wikimedia REST API
https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/?doc
<TimStarling> but it's not really about linguistics, like cscott says, we have a very clear user-facing concept of a wiki and there's no sense conflating it with automatic translation

<stashbot> T114640: RFC: make Parser::getTargetLanguage aware of multilingual wikis - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114640
<gwicke> what we are looking for is basically option 2
<DanielK_WMDE> i don't want to derail or stonewall this or related rfcs.
<gwicke> a uniform path-based way of selecting language variants
<brion> are we otherwise happy with the notion of zh.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/lang/zh-hant/html/Foo with the open question of whether zh-hant can be replaced with en/fr/etc in a way that will be consistent?
