Description Umherirrender 2013-10-12 21:45:27 UTC 
The new special page Special:ResetTokens (Gerrit change #64565) allows resetting the watchlisttoken, but when clicking reset on Special:Preferences the watchlisttoken is also set to a new one.

Is this intended or should Special:Preferences not reset tokens?
If intended please mark as INVALID. Thanks.

Same for the api. When resetting with the api a new watchlisttoken is set.
If this is not intended a new api module is needed, which allows resetting the tokens. Maybe a new option kind 'token' can be used to allow resetting tokens with the api in the same way than Special:ResetTokens.

Hmmmm, doesn't sound like expected behavior to me. The new option kind idea is reasonable IMO.

(CC-ing Brad with the hope that he will be interested in this bug, as he poked with some similar things recently.)
Comment 2 Umherirrender 2013-10-12 22:21:05 UTC 
When a new option kind 'token' is added, maybe on [[Special:Preferences/reset]] a list with checkboxes can be added, so the user can choose, if he want to reset all or only a kind/some kinds. The api allows this, so the gui can do that in the same way. Special:ResetTokens can than be removed.
