Yes, my bot is (such) a "BotPasswords"-login. − I thought that’s the 
correct way to achieve my goals (interacting with my API) and my bot is 
in the "bot" user-group. (So I thought it’s a bot and has bot rights …)



which means you probably did not select a grant that includes
the 'suppressredirect' right.


=> Can you tell me how I can grant that right to my "BotPasswords"-bot?

Thanks in advance

It works fine when I try it on my local test wiki. Although I'm using
MediaWiki master rather than 1.27.3.

If I query the API (api.php) for the moved page with the parameters

suppressrevision and suppressredirect are different rights.


Oh yes, you are right! − I coundfounded that both parameters … #sry

That was a good hint! − That’s my output:

- 8< -
array(2) {
  ["batchcomplete"]=>
  bool(true)

  array(1) {
["userinfo"]=>
array(4) {

  int(2)
  ["name"]=>
  string(5) "WVbot"

string(15) "applychangetags"
[16]=>
string(10) "changetags"
  }
}
  }
}

So it’s fact that my bot is missing the right "suppressredirect". :-|
=> What shall I do!?
(I wanna stay with th 1.27 = LTS.)

Thanks

suppressrevision and suppressredirect are different rights.
prop=contributors is also a poor method to check rights,
action=query=allusers=suppressredirect would make much more
sense. Or, while logged in as your bot, try
action=query=userinfo=groups|rights.

[Mediawiki-api] Q = Bot and move without redirect

[Kai Sommer]

Hi everyone,

ATM I’m fiddeling around with a little enigma (for me). − I hope some 
one can help me … :-)


# I wanna do
Moving a page as a bot (written in PHP) with api.php without leaving a 
redirect.


# the problem
I can move the page. − But the parameter "noredirect" (value = 1) seems 
to be ignored. So every moved page exists with the redirect after moving …


# my guess
I guess there is something not correct with the (implementation of the) 
user right "suppressredirect" (which is required for using the API 
parameter "noredirect"; see [0]).


[0] 

# my conditions
## MW
* v1.27.3

## the bot
* I created a bot with my main account.
* the bot can do everything (edit, query, …) so far
* the bot is listed in the group "bot"

## /includes/DefaultSettings.php
L 5076: "$wgGroupPermissions['bot']['suppressredirect'] = true;"

# one more point
If I query the API (api.php) for the moved page with the parameters
* prop=contributors
* titles=$MYPAGENAME
* pcrights=suppressrevision
I get empty (= no) contributors − so my bot has not the correct right …


I hope you can give me a hint how I can accomplish such a basic task.

Thanks a lot in advance and best regards
Kai
