A lot of automation stopped working; symptom is that page edit/create returns a "preview" page instead of completing.
I was able to fix edits by adding wpSection:'' (null) to the form data. But create still does the same thing.
How do we find out what was changed (this time, and any given time)?
Please, no lectures on using the API for edits; the edit API has only been available for a month, and there is a HUGE amount of software using the GUI form.
Can we please identify what is wrong, or revert it ASAP? It is seriously borked.

The reason may be the new requirement of sending non-empty and non-zero (?) wpStarttime and wpEdittime parameters for all edit requests, including new page creations [1].
