Hi everyone,
A change was deployed which changed the behavior of the login api.
The offending change was announced a week ago:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-api-announce/2016-July/0001…
As a
result Pywikibot bots can't login to any of the WMF wiki's. I asked Brad to
undo his change so bots can login again. This problem is being tracked in
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T142155 .
Brad's change has been reverted, but that revert wont be deployed until Tuesday.
Wiki Conference India is occurring now, and they are of course
affected, and the conference is over before Tuesday.
Correction: it is currently working, but will be broken again on
Tuesday unless we fix it.
