When trying to do edits to the Projekt namespace on the wmse chapterwiki I repeatedly get a "API error protectednamespace: You do not have permission to edit pages in the Projekt namespace." warning despite the bot having the correct permissions to edit this namespace (you need the editallpages permission which is given to logged in users). The bot is logged in using a BotPassword
Logging the bot in using the main password allows me to do the same changes so the error is either caused by BotPasswords or by pywikibots implementation of it.
The grants given to the BotPassword "account" were
- Basic rights
- High-volume editing
- Edit existing pages
- Edit protected pages
- Create, edit, and move pages
- Upload, replace and move files
- Patrol changes to pages
I encounter this both when using the replace.py script and when using pywikibot as a library. I also encounter it even when logging the bot in as a sysop (and making the bot a sysop).
