Wow, I can't believe that I actually had a bug in my code /^)
But, seriously, the error message is a bit misleading. It should include an attribute like, foruser="John Doe". The cookies weren't being set correctly and so it assumed the edit was by anon. An att, foruser="197.201.33.10" would have offered a clue. It took some debugging of the MW code to figure that out by noticing that the $user in Title.php was not a registered user.
Cheers

No, but I just tried with it and still same error. But, 'editsd' is my permission, not a group. Can the 1st array index take a permission name?

Did you set:
$wgGroupPermissions['editsd']['writeapi'] = true;

The Special:ListGroupRights correctly shows the Administrators group has my defined permission for the namespace: editsd (editsd) Does this issue look like a bug?

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're not allowed to edit pages in the "SusData" namespace" /></api>
Any ideas?
Thanks, al
P.S. I can post config stuff if needed. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
