Bug ID: 47916
Summary: Be more helpful when (un)watching via JavaScript fails
due to invalid token
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: JavaScript
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
It just happened to me that unwatching a page failed, because the token changed
for some reason. I just got an error message of the kind "something went wrong"
which doesn't help normal users (I could look in the JS console to find out
what went wrong). Even if this shouldn't happen too often, MW should be more
helpful. Possible enhancements:
* Add some hint how to fix it to the error message: "Reload the page and try
again."
* Unbind the AJAX watch things when an error occurs (the non-AJAX token will
probably be invalid, too, so the user will need to confirm the action a second
time).
* Use action=tokens to get a new token and re-try automatically.
