/wikipedia/en_id not working on MQL query

Does anybody know why is this query not working? It was yesterday:

[{  "mid": "/m/02_286",  "key": {
"namespace": "/wikipedia/en_id",    "value": null  }}]

I get this response

{  "result": []}

I want to obtain the ID 38252 so I can obtain a wikipedia link like this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=38252

You can see further details here: https://developers.google.com/freebase/v1/mql-cookbook

You can take a look to the query here

EDIT :

I noticed that with Paris there is an "en_id" key https://www.freebase.com/m/02_286?keys= but with New York city there is no "en_id" key https://www.freebase.com/m/02_286?keys=. Its weird because there was an id a couple of days ago...

Thanks!

That's not the topic where the /wikipedia/en_id/38252 key lives. You can find this out by reversing your query like here

{
  "mid": null,
  "name": null,
  "key": {
    "namespace": "/wikipedia/en_id",
    "value": "38252"
  }
}

The topic that you are looking for is https://www.freebase.com/m/09jm8

Your original query is fine. It's just that that particular topic doesn't have a /wikipedia/en_id key. It did up until June 17, as you can see by looking at the historical view: https://www.freebase.com/m/02_286?keys&lang=en&filter=%2Ftype%2Fobject%2Fkey&historical=true

This is probably a data bug, but you can't fix it by changing your query.
