Created EXAMPLE_TOKEN which replaces all tokens in api examples and also looks like a real token, I think it save a work of many tool developing people since I myself had troubles understanding how real token looks from the api.php descriptions (previous example also contained some charactes which would hardly be inside the string, token is always lower case) Comment: Clients shouldn't parse or validate tokens. They should make no assumptions about what tokens look like, but just store whatever the API gives them when they ask for a token, and pass it back unmodified. That said, I see no reason why the login token would have to change in the foreseeable future. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
