I'm a bit stumped, but may have missed a change somewhere on how
watchlist tokens are supposed to be called using the API.
I'm logged in and get
<http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&intoken=watch&titles=Main%20Page&format=xml>
but it returns the error "Action 'watch' is not allowed for the
current user" and fails to pass me a watch token. I have also tried
this as a post rather than a get, but with the identical result.
Was there some security change that
<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Watch> does not reflect?
I'm not doing anything sneaky, I would just like a sensible way of
trimming down my uneditable 90,000 pages long watchlist on Commons.
Cheers,
Fae
