Re: [Wikitech-l] How does new revert token system works?

For rollback you need a rollback token (if i'm right), with api.php?action=query&meta=tokens you get a csrf token (like the api page says). What is, if you use api.php?action=query&meta=tokens&type=rollback to retrieve a token?

Datum: Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:00:26 +0100 Von: Petr Bena <benapetr(a)gmail.com> An: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hey, I've seen a lot of changes in token system, however how it works is a mystery to me. So far I understood it as: You no longer get revert token per each edit using intoken but get some kind of global rollback token using action=query&meta=tokens Is this how it should work? If yes, there is a bug in mediawiki, because token returned by this api is randomly invalid. That means, sometimes it can be used and sometimes it return badtoken, which can be fixed only by either logging out and back in, or using the deprecated intoken parameter which returns working token (but is deprecated). If this is not how it should work, can someone explain to me how it works?
