Web browser: --- Bug ID: 56766 Summary: When protecting a non-existent page, the API uses wrong preference to determine whether to watch page Product: MediaWiki Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: API Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: at.li...@live.com.au CC: bjor...@wikimedia.org, bryan.tongm...@gmail.com, roan.katt...@gmail.com, s...@reedyboy.net Classification: Unclassified Mobile Platform: --- When you use the API to protect a non-existent page with protections=create=sysop and watchlist=preferences, it seems to use the value of the "Add pages I create and files I upload to my watchlist" (wpWatchCreations) preference to decide whether or not to add the page to your watchlist. Since no page is actually being created, this seems inappropriate. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
