The offending change was announced a week ago: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-api-announce/2016-July/000114.html > As a > result Pywikibot bots can't login to any of the WMF wiki's.

Brad's change has been reverted, but that revert wont be deployed until Tuesday. Wiki Conference India is occurring now, and they are of course affected, and the conference is over before Tuesday. fwiw, there is an API deprecation message for "action=login", which we havent acted on, which means a bigger rewrite is also needed soon, as the API deprecate message clearly says "action=login is deprecated and may stop working *without warning*" (emphasis added) https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137805 -- John Vandenberg _______________________________________________ pywikibot mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikibot
