After reinstalling mediawiki on Ubuntu 16.10, the option no longer exists:

    Can you use the obvious solution, that is, installing an older version of MediaWiki (presumably, 1.26)? – svick Nov 15 '16 at 18:32
  • @svick Of course; if it is easy, and error free. I ended up just using JSON format and correcting my program, so at this moment, I'll accept any answer. – Anon Nov 16 '16 at 00:55

You could grap the ApiFormatTxt class form 1.26, update it for any changes since and add it to your MediaWiki installation. Of course, rewriting your code to use JSON takes much less time and makes it more robust.
