As far as I remember, and that is at least from 2007 onwards, GET has
always been allowed, except for those can are considered write
actions.
2) Is there are list of which operations require POST?
Browsing through
the docs, at least login and edit seem to, but is there a consolidated
list? The Perl MediaWiki::API module suggests that GET is allowed only
for query, logout, purge, and paraminfo.
GET is always allowed, unless the module documentation at action=help
indicates "This module only accepts POST requests".
