Ticket #63307, comment 28
v1 v2 6 6 > I think the best path is that in 6.8.1, keep the `ignore_sticky_posts` param that was added, but change the default in the rest API to `true` which will restore the behavior that the endpoint had from 4.7 -> 6.7. The Query Block can be modified to call the endpoint with `ignore_sticky_posts` set to `false`. We can then look at adding a new endpoint (`wp/v3/posts`? `wp/v2/wp_query`?) in 6.9 that more closely resembles `WP_Query`. This would honor the original REST API behavior for posts collection, while maintaining support for sticky posts. 7 7 8 I don't think this is a good idea entirely: #59801should be reverted, as It's still buggy and needs more development. I've been looking into the code to find a quick fix, but it's not going to be as quick as I thought.8 I don't think this is a good idea entirely: [59801] should be reverted, as It's still buggy and needs more development.

We could argue that it's weird to add "ignore_sticky=false" to the `slug` param, but for any other param it will also break the results as it does with `slug` and it's not that weird to use this. The sole scenario where "ignore_sticky" makes sense (and to which it seemed to be tested), was against the regular no-parameters query. Probably not defaulting `ignore_sticky` and working from there could be the solution code-wise. But many extra tweaks have to be made to avoid delivering a half-cooked buggy solution.
