My current version of mediawiki installation is 1.32.0. I am trying to use Ansible to interface update Mediawiki.
There seems to be some contradictions in the API documentation. * The Help:Creating a bot - Wikipedia<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Creating_a_bot#Logging_in> says that lgname, lgpassword and lgtoken should be used in a POST, * while the MediaWiki API help<https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=login> says that user id and password should be a part of the URI: api.php?action=login&lgname=user&lgpassword=password<https://t-dokuwiki.it.ku.dk/dokuwiki/api.php?action=login&lgname=user&lgpassword=password>. * Also API:Main page - MediaWiki<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page> says that "tokens<https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=tokens> is Deprecated. Get tokens for data-modifying actions". >From the ansible.builtin.uri - Interacts with webservices - Ansible >Documentation<https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/uri_module.html#examples>, > the way to POST, is to insert body_format: form-urlencoded body: name: your_username password: your_password enter: Sign in which I think must be - name: Logging in to wiki.server uri: url: https://wiki.server/wiki/api.php?action=query&meta=tokens&type=login&format=json method: POST force_basic_auth: yes body_format: form-urlencoded body: lgname: your_username lgpassword: your_password lgtoken: Sign in but this gives me "warnings": { "main": { "*": "Unrecognized parameters: lgname, lgtoken, lgpassword." } What is the correct documentation?
