It is estimated that all Fandom wiki subdomains will be migrated over to UCP in few weeks or upcoming months slowly. When that happens, the wikia cog will stop working properly because new UCP uses newer version of Media Wiki engine (v1.33.3) which uses different API endpoints. The wikia cog will, hence, require a rewrite to fetch info about wiki articles from new API endpoints. In any case, I thought I would open an issue for general awareness.

Ah... that is a problem, yeah. If you could link the valid API docs, that'd be useful to future me.

The API docs are kinda sparse because you can basically use/apply the latest MediaWiki API methods with new Fandom API since the UCP based wikias will utilise the same.
The endpoint is https://{wikia_subdomain_name}.fandom.com/api.php

You can go to any wikia which has been migrated to UCP (MediaWiki v1.33.3) by using above endpoint URL and poke with the parameters/actions it shows you. For example, https://towerofgod.fandom.com/api.php
