Summary: AntiBot GenericFormEncoding prevents editing via API
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: wikidiff2
AssignedTo: tstarl...@wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: marcin.cies...@gmail.com
When editing via API (using GET request and application/x-www-form-urlencoded
parameters) GenericFormEncoding prevents editing and writes to the log:
192.2.3.1 AntiBot plugin AntiBot_GenericFormEncoding hit: <no action> [[<no
title>]] "{|| some wikitext"
1) it would be useful to have some more information via the API which extension
failed (and, if possible, why)
2) Either extensions should assume less about the how the edits are done (not
always POST etc.) or use of some other hook should be introduced here to
disregard API edits.
