Re: [MediaWiki-l] [API] Can't edit with API in custom namespace

In short, I CAN edit a page in a custom namespace with the interface, but NOT with the API... using the sysop account.  Is there some code I can do a simple check of?  I see no prior bugs about this so maybe there is a tricky configuration setting?  If I remove the following namespace protection, the API works:

$wgNamespaceProtection[NS_SUSDATA] = array( 'editsd' );

But, I need the namespace protection.

Thanks, al

I hope someone can help.

I have a custom namespace.

I can edit via API in the _main_ namespace, thus, my custom bot is logging in, getting edit token, etc..  - API edit code tests good.

I can edit via the WEB interface in the _custom_ namespace successfully - security/permissions configed correctly.

But, I cannot edit via the API in the _custom_ namespace.  So, there is something about editing a custom namespace WITH the api.

Error output: <?xml version="1.0"?><api><error code="protectednamespace" info="You&#039;re not allowed to edit pages in the &quot;SusData&quot; namespace" /></api>

Any ideas?

Thanks, al

P.S. I can post config stuff if needed.
