TASK DESCRIPTION Over the past 48 hours, there seems to have been a change in the behaviour of MediaWiki login API for Wikidata. This causes all logins from Wikidata-Toolkit (Java library) to fail. Among others, this affects OpenRefine users. To reproduce: - Fetch a login token with https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=tokens&type=login&format=json - Perform a POST query to login using this token and valid credentials: curl -X POST "https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php"; -d "action=login&lgname=MY_USERNAME&lgpassword=MY_PASSWORD&lgtoken=MY_TOKEN&format=json" which gives the following response: { "warnings": { "main": { "*": "Subscribe to the mediawiki-api-announce mailing list at <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api-announce> for notice of API deprecations and breaking changes. Use [[Special:ApiFeatureUsage]] to see usage of deprecated features by your application." }, "login": { "*": "Fetching a token via \"action=login\" is deprecated. Use \"action=query&meta=tokens&type=login\" instead." } }, "login": { "result": "NeedToken", "token": "dda68bc218a252765816dca9570ec6755e8d6462+\\" } } This bug can be observed for existing releases of Wikidata-Toolkit (and therefore OpenRefine), so this issue cannot come from a client-side change. One can observe that no data imports have been made through OpenRefine for about 48 hours: https://tools.wmflabs.org/editgroups/?tool=OR This seems to depend on subtle details of cookie handling according to this pull request <https://github.com/Wikidata/Wikidata-Toolkit/pull/490>. While we can of course fix things on Wikidata-Toolkit's side, it would be great if the change on Wikidata's side could be reverted at least temporarily, since fixing this on our side requires making new releases of Wikidata-Toolkit and OpenRefine.
