According to the DOM inspector form#editform fields
are:
"wpTextbox1"
"wpSummary"
"wpSave"
"wpSection"
"wpEdittime"
Is the edit time used as the token?
No, the field is called precisely "wpEditToken" and contains a MD5 sum.
Good time to tell us which version of MediaWiki you are using, maybe
there is a bug?..
Thanks for the help, I'm using 1.4beta6. There is definitely not any
"wpEditToken" in the HTML. Maybe this is a known issue with beta6? When I
get time I'll upgrade to 1.4rc1 and see if it persists.
I've just looked at meta.wikipedia (which runs 1.4rc1) and their edit pages
have no wpEditToken field either.
lynx -source
"http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia&action=edit" | grep
-i token
gives no output
Maybe edit tokens were removed in 1.4? If so there must be some other
reason my script's edits aren't being accepted.
