Hi,
I had problems because of the +\\ in Bash. I was replacing those with their
HTML encodings but that was preventing the code from functioning.

Yes. Can I just pass the CSRF token ("edit token") to action=edit and expect
the MediaWiki API to know who I am?
This is the way I'm getting the CSRF token:
CR=$(curl -S \
--location \
--cookie $cookie_jar \
--cookie-jar $cookie_jar \
--user-agent "Curl Shell Script" \
--keepalive-time 60 \
--header "Accept-Language: en-us" \
--header "Connection: keep-alive" \
--compressed \
--request "POST" "${WIKIAPI}?action=query&meta=tokens&format=json")
Kind regards,
Geoffrey
