Initial Comment:
Since the change of the API (url) my bot (and some others, after discussion on IRC) can not connect and it's wrote on the consol the error message: "Login failed. Wrong password or CAPTCHA answer?" despite that the correct password is entered and that no captcha is answered on the browser!

Yes, my user-config.py contains that line :
use_api_login = True
I've checked that there is no file type <family> - <lang> -
<user>-login.data in the "login-data" folder.
And there isn't any file called "fr-ZéroBot-central-login.data"
(<family>-<lang>-<user>-login.data).
I've use the -clean option and I've tried to log in again with the -v -v
and -force options. I can observe that (I've replaced bot's password by
***) :

Message:
Please confirm that your user-config.py contains the following line:
use_api_login = False
use double verbose option -v -v for the next tries and give us the
result.
First use -clean option to ensure you are logged out and the cookies are
deleted.
Verify that the file <family>-<lang>-<user>-login.data does not exist,
for example wikipedia-fr-ZéroBot-login.data
Verify there is no remaining <family>-<user>-central-login.data
Try again to login (with -force option):
login.py -force -v -v

I've checked - the password is correct, I've tryed to create new
user-config.py - it doesn't work. I think this bug shouldn't be marked as
fixed yet

Message:
Yes, it should be separate but only on my second comment I got sure of it
:)
anyway, I now get :
Should be logged in now
*** Your username is not listed on [[Wikipedia:Bots/Status]].
*** Please make sure you are allowed to use the robot before actually
using it!
But my bot is listed there. Maybe the physical text has changed...
Thanks

That typo is really a separate bug, but it's fixed in r8062 [anyway, I
think your bot is logged in even though you got the error message]

Message:
It seems to be linked to xqt's changeset #8055 where the bot status page is
changed to Wikipedia:Bot/Status. In en.wikipedia, this is (still)
Wikipedia:Bots/Status (plural form).
What's the fix?

I was since I had problems with API login not working properly and
requiring the bot to re-login (unsuccessfully) on every edit.
I just retried API login but I get an exception while logging in to
en.wikipedia (only en.wikipedia and not anywhere else so far):
Logging in to wikipedia:en as MalafayaBot via API.
Should be logged in now

Message:
It should be fixed for everyone using API login (need the line
use_api_login = True in user-config.py).  If there is anyone out there not
using API login, you need to change your user-config file.
