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.
- 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".
