I have a bot editing script that started having trouble logging in to the English Wikipedia a few days ago. I think what's happening is that the login process started using Javascript in a way it didn't before, and is detecting that my script doesn't do Javascript (which it doesn't), and throwing a second, fallback, non-Javascript-using login page at the point where the script is expecting to have already logged in. So the question is, if this is the case, is there a way to force the use of the non-Javascript login page from the beginning? Or if this is not the case, is there some other recent change that might have affected the flow? (And, in case you're wondering, no, the script does not use the API, but yes, I know about it, and this may be the circumstance that goads me into actually using it.) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
