?action=raw for the raw wiki text e.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Titanic?action=raw

This is however not really useful, because you get the unformatted wiki text.

Why is that not really useful? I thought the pre-processed data is what was wanted to begin with? (That this needs to be processed first to embed images and links etc. is obvious, but this also offers added flexibility.)

We want far more, for example an API for:

"give me an article for the word "Enzyme". If that article is available in one of these languages return in one of these languages (in order of listing), if not return the english article [de,fr,it]"

That is not possible now. Or

"Give me articles related to the article "Enzyme""

I hope you can now see we need much more then "give me article 'x'".
