Bug ID: 44602
Summary: Require POST for all changes
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Page editing

Currently, some changes like patrolling or reverting can be achieved by GET
requests. This is unfortunate because usually you don't expect a link changing
content.
Some browsers offer automated link-checker-plugIns/addOns. They iterate over
all links they find on one page to see whether the contents are available or
whatever. Unfortunately the requests are sent with the session cookies.
The issue are the revert links in the watch list and other lists.
Recently a user unintentionally reverted all edits (where possible) included in
their watch list.
I can't imagine how to effectively solve this issue. A <form> or JavaScript is
always required to POST, I guess...
