Btw, I don't know if it's a bug or not, but http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=tokens&rawcontinue=1&type=watch|patrol|rollback&format=xml returns no tokens even when I am logged in. According to always-up-to-date api.php I don't need to provide any more parameters for this to work. Is that a bug?
