I thought it'd be of Pywikipediabot developers too.

Subject: [Wikitech-l] API action=edit added
To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org>


Earlier today, I added [1] the long-awaited action=edit module to the API.

Currently, all WMF wikis have $wgEnableWriteAPI = false; , so
action=edit won't be available on them (along with delete, move, etc.),
which is probably a good thing as long as these modules haven't been
tested extensively. However, I suggest this setting be enabled on
Testwiki [2] so it can be, well, tested. Maintainers of JS scripts that
use the API (like Twinkle, maintained by Carl Fürstenberg AKA AzaTht
whose repetitive bugging sped up the development of this module) could
probably help here: they'll need to modify their code to use the API
edit features at some point and will be able to use TestWiki for
testing, and in turn their requests will help testing at TestWiki.

If anyone runs into any issues with the API edit modules, feel free to
bug me at #mediawiki (where I'm known as RoanKattouw), file a bug report
at BugZilla (be sure to set component=API and assign it to
roan.kattouw@home.nl ) or send an e-mail to the mediawiki-api list [3].
