Hi everyone,
ATM I’m fiddeling around with a little enigma (for me). − I hope some one can help me … :-)
# I wanna do Moving a page as a bot (written in PHP) with api.php without leaving a redirect.
# the problem I can move the page. − But the parameter "noredirect" (value = 1) seems to be ignored. So every moved page exists with the redirect after moving …
# my guess I guess there is something not correct with the (implementation of the) user right "suppressredirect" (which is required for using the API parameter "noredirect"; see [0]).

# my conditions ## MW * v1.27.3
## the bot * I created a bot with my main account. * the bot can do everything (edit, query, …) so far * the bot is listed in the group "bot"
## /includes/DefaultSettings.php L 5076: "$wgGroupPermissions['bot']['suppressredirect'] = true;"
# one more point If I query the API (api.php) for the moved page with the parameters * prop=contributors * titles=$MYPAGENAME * pcrights=suppressrevision I get empty (= no) contributors − so my bot has not the correct right …
I hope you can give me a hint how I can accomplish such a basic task.
Thanks a lot in advance and best regards Kai
