Hi,
Yesterday, a user reported having problem with my tool, WPCleaner, getting error messages "assertuserfailed - Assertion that the user is logged in failed" when trying to save pages. I also got them a few minutes ago, restarted the tool, and the problem was gone.
Has there been any modification on the API or MW that can explain this error message ?
Yes, the handling of assert= in MediaWiki had changed a while back. http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-api-announce/2014-January/000049.html was the announcement that was sent out and explains what changed.
