There has been a suggestion of a new namespace on enwp for drafts to alliw unregistered users to create drafts out of talkspace which is currently required to circumvent technical restrictions. Question is: would a new namespace be able to be flagged as editable by *? [16:50:00] T13: anything is possible :) [16:50:48] Can I get such a namespace on testwiki to create a new ra/afc project idea I have? [16:57:19] file a ticket in bugzilla [17:08:13] Can do p858snake [17:16:36] @seen PiRSquared17 [17:16:36] Base-w: Last time I saw PiRSquared17 they were quitting the network with reason: Quit: . N/A at 6/10/2013 5:30:01 PM (54d23h46m34s ago) [17:17:11] !log antimony (gitblit) overloaded again as of yesterday around 19 UTC [17:17:21] Logged the message, Master [17:17:30] @seen huh [17:17:30] Base-w: Last time I saw huh they were changing the nickname to , but is no longer in channel #mediawiki at 7/17/2013 1:11:20 AM (18d16h6m9s ago) [17:19:10] @seen PiRSquared [17:19:10] Philon: Last time I saw PiRSquared they were leaving the channel #wikidata-admin at 7/31/2013 6:11:11 PM (3d23h7m59s ago) [17:19:18] Base-w: ^^ [17:20:00] thank you [18:19:38] I'm trying to muck about a bit with bot writing, and I've arrived at the chapter Tokens. At one place, I read edit tokens are valid for any page as long as they are not expired, but at the same time, to get one, I need to provide a titles query parameter according to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit . Then again, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Edit_token seems to imply there is another syntax for requesting tokens too, but I ca [18:19:38] n't seem to find the specification for that [18:19:42] how does that work? [19:30:56] MartijnH: you can get all sortsof tokens using action=tokens api [19:31:14] ah, nice MatmaRex [19:31:18] that's what I was hoping for [19:31:23] MartijnH: they use to be available only from various places like the edit token in edit api [19:31:35] now they're all together, but old ways of accessing are kept for backwards compatibility [19:31:39] do you know if there is documentation for that interface [19:31:48] it seems much nicer than the 'old' way [19:32:20] you can view the basic docs for everything by just visiting /w/api.php in your browser, with no parameters [19:32:27] ctrl+f for action=tokens [19:32:34] Special:ApiSandbox [19:32:36] is much nicer, IMO [19:33:05] and that too, for testing [19:33:16] but the docs are easier to look through via api.php [19:33:17] ah, that's perfect indeed MatmaRex [19:33:17] https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php [19:33:35] actually, it's more like a reference than documentation [19:33:44] but you canusually find everything there with ctrl+f :) [19:34:31] yeah, I've got it MatmaRex. you're saving my proverbial bacon (again) :) [19:46:21] MartijnH: try https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox too :) [19:46:35] will do YuviPanda [19:46:37] thanks [22:14:09] gn8 folks [22:56:42] !ops
