Description Bartosz Dziewoński 2013-10-26 14:12:24 UTC action=tokens API is basically not documented anywhere. API docs ([[mw:API]]) recommend the old method of getting tokens, e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit#Token The only thing on mw.org that even mentions it seems to be https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Edit_token#Retrieving_via_Ajax Write [[mw:API:Tokens]] and link it everywhere, anyone? Comment 1 Bartosz Dziewoński 2013-12-06 18:27:14 UTC Done now. Yay!
