# AX Check: wikipedia.org
Checked 2026-09-18.

Wikipedia's homepage has no agent-friendly docs or guide index
No Markdown version of the homepage and no llms.txt index exist, so agents find no documentation entry point despite the site itself loading fine.

## End-to-end onboarding not demonstrated

## Coding sessions
All three independent sessions (DeepSeek V4 Pro, Kimi K3, Qwen 3.8 Max) completed and agreed Wikipedia access is free, citing assumptions like proper User-Agent headers and fair-use rate limits, with Wikimedia Enterprise noted as the paid option for high-volume commercial use.

### DeepSeek V4 Pro
[View public run](https://agents.withgauge.com/p/runs/3f580bea-52b5-4fc7-ac8e-2ea7fafa9a3d) · [Read transcript](https://www.ax-check.com/wikipedia.org/sessions/deepseek.json)
Final message states cost is $0 for 'typical light/scripted use' and ties it to explicit assumptions (single request per run, proper User-Agent, non-commercial light usage, else the paid Wikipedia Enterprise applies).
#### End-to-end onboarding
- **End-to-end onboarding not demonstrated**: No credentials or authentication were involved at any point. Wikipedia's public REST and Action APIs are unauthenticated, so there was no sign-up, API key, or login step to test self-service onboarding against. The agent only issued anonymous GET requests with a custom User-Agent header and received public data back.

### Kimi K3
[View public run](https://agents.withgauge.com/p/runs/1470a2d9-c2eb-4f26-8e5e-9b7f76bb5d49) · [Read transcript](https://www.ax-check.com/wikipedia.org/sessions/kimi.json)
Final output states pricing is free with named assumptions: no paid tiers/keys for public use, ~200 req/s rate-limit etiquette, and calls out Wikimedia Enterprise as the paid path for high-volume commercial workloads.
#### End-to-end onboarding
- **End-to-end onboarding not demonstrated**: No credentials or auth were needed or used — Wikipedia's public REST/Action API requires no signup or API keys, which the agent correctly identified. It made unauthenticated GET requests to the live hosted API and got real data back (page search and summary), so the product operation itself succeeded, but this does not meet the bar for verified onboarding since there is no credential acquisition or authenticated operation to demonstrate.

### Qwen 3.8 Max
[View public run](https://agents.withgauge.com/p/runs/39b64ce8-51e7-4cae-98bf-bec52d668323) · [Read transcript](https://www.ax-check.com/wikipedia.org/sessions/qwen.json)
Final output states cost is $0 and grounds it in named assumptions (no API key/account/billing, ~200 req/s fair-use rate limit, required User-Agent header, throttling/429s instead of a bill).
#### End-to-end onboarding
- **End-to-end onboarding not demonstrated**: Wikipedia's public REST and Action APIs require no credentials, account, or authentication at all. The agent made anonymous GET requests to public endpoints and never obtained or used any product-issued credentials, so there is no self-service onboarding to verify — the product simply has no auth-gated developer workflow to test here.

### Task given to each agent
Help me build a simple example using Wikipedia. Tell me how pricing works, and briefly tell me whether this product will be easy for you to manage. Let me know if you get blocked. If this product has no developer workflow you can act on, say so plainly and stop. Stay light: use the hosted product through its SDK or API. Do not start local service stacks or wait for long-running commands; if the quickstart requires either, say so plainly and stop.

No product credentials were supplied and no purchases were authorized.

## Score: F · 0/100 (provisional)
Grades come from completed site checks. Coding sessions and skipped checks do not affect the score.

### Clarity
- **Failed** — Homepage answers Markdown requests

  ```text
  Homepage returned text/html even when text/markdown was requested; no Markdown representation offered.
  ```

- **Failed** — llms.txt provides an actionable documentation index

  ```text
  /llms.txt returned HTTP 404, so no documentation index exists.
  ```

- **Skipped** — llms.txt provides navigation guidance

  ```text
  /llms.txt is 404, so no navigation guidance could be read.
  ```

- **Skipped** — llms.txt mentions offered API, MCP, and skills

  ```text
  /llms.txt is 404, so no API, MCP or skills mentions could be read.
  ```

- **Skipped** — A compact guide representation exists

  ```text
  No compact agent guide or llms.txt found; only the multilingual portal homepage was fetched.
  ```

- **Skipped** — A focused guide is directly retrievable

  ```text
  No focused guide page was fetched; only the portal homepage and a 404 llms.txt.
  ```

- **Skipped** — Equivalent instructions fit a token budget

  ```text
  No compact guide representation was retrieved, so token budget cannot be judged.
  ```

- **Skipped** — Product-docs links survive format changes

  ```text
  Homepage Markdown is unsupported, so link preservation across formats is unassessed.
  ```

- **Skipped** — The compact guide is independently actionable

  ```text
  No compact agent guide was fetched; only the multilingual portal homepage is available.
  ```

- **Skipped** — Install and next-step links resolve

  ```text
  No install or next-step links were sampled for resolution.
  ```

  No installation or CLI guide pages were fetched for Wikipedia.
  ```

- **Skipped** — Code examples are available without interaction

  ```text
  No documentation or code-example pages were fetched.

  No docs describing prerequisites or auth boundaries were fetched.
  ```


### Pricing

  Not applicable: the relevant product is free. Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia; no developer pricing page exists to read.
