Blocked users can log in just fine, both via the UI and the API. However, they can't edit or move pages or change anything in any other way, except if $wgBlockAllowsUTEdit is set to true, in which case blocked users can edit their own user talk page (usually to appeal the block and present arguments and evidence in their favor).

A similar measure was taken during the development of 1.17 for the markpatrolled action, and the reason is the same: To prevent third-party sites from executing write actions without the users' permission. The ApiWatch module must be posted and given a token. As with other edittoken-based api actions, the token is salted but stays the same throughout a session. Scripts may retrieve this token, as usual, through the ApiQueryInfo (must be logged in, anon users don't have action-watch) [4] On a sidenote, recently the the mw.user.tokens resourceloader module [8] has been created [9]. This, together with the mw.user.options module introduced in 1.17, gadgets can do advanced actions without polling the API for common data. If you script is ran from a wiki, you can get the tokens from [5] this Map without an http request to the query info module. An example has been made in the mediawiki.action.watch.ajax module [6]. This (un)watches through the API. The actual change in the WatchAction class was made in r89545 [3]. The ApiWatch module was changed in r88522 [7]. -- Krinkle [1] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/27655 Require token for (un)watching pages [2] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/29070 Add token to action=watch API [3] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/89545 [4] http://yourdomain/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&titles=Main+Page&intoken= watch [5] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ResourceLoader/Default_modules#tokens [6] http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/resources/mediawiki.a ction/mediawiki.action.watch.ajax.js?view=markup&pathrev=88554#l117 [7] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/88522 [8] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/29067 Expose user.tokens like we do user.options in ResourceLoader [9] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/88553 _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list wikitec...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api-announce mailing list mediawiki-api-annou...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api-announce ------------------------------ Message: 10 Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2011 09:54:05 -0700 (PDT) From: Eric K <ek79...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-api] Letting other websites use wiki content To: MediaWiki API announcements & discussion <mediawiki-api@lists.wikimedia.org> Message-ID: <94062.24463...@web39304.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Thanks!
