Max Semenik managed to write:
API is intended for bots, not humans. Making it accept anon edits just allows bots to edit accidentally logged off. And the AssertEdit extension doesn't seem to work for API. What can be done about this?
Simply adding an AlternateEdit hook call to ApiEditPage leads to ugly HTML output.
I thought about assertions in API. I'll add them this week. --VasilievVV
This hook was implemented by Bryan Tong Minh in 35294[1], and in conjunction wit AssertEdit it leads, as I warned, to AssertEdit attempting to display a HTML error page and choking with "Fatal error: Call to a member function getPrefixedText() on a non-object in C:\Projects\MediaWiki\includes\OutputPage.php on line 1314" instead of proper XML output. I suppose that other extensions that don't expect to be called from API may exhibit the same behaviour.
