As of 26 August all tests using the API are failing: 13:42 chrismcmahon: hmm, breaking change to the API? {"tokens"=>{"*"=>"action=tokens has been deprecated. Please use action=query&meta=tokens instead."}} 13:42 legoktm: Deskana: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/144644/ 13:42 legoktm: chrismcmahon: yes there was an announcement 13:43 legoktm: nothing is broken though 13:43 legoktm: chrismcmahon: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-api-announce/2014-August/000067.html 13:43 chrismcmahon: thanks legoktm that's ummm annoying 13:43 legoktm: why? 13:45 chrismcmahon: I've never heard of Mediawiki-api-announce before, oh well. 13:45 legoktm: there's also mediawiki-api too 13:45 chrismcmahon: nor suspected that I should subscribe to it had I known it existed. anyway, I can fix the issue 13:46 legoktm: the list is listed at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page#Useful_links, please add links to it in other places too :)
First things first, the API client should be refactored to not fail upon a deprecation warning. We can then look into how to best implement the new meta=tokens query (and what condition to switch on; AFAICT, the API endpoint is not versioned).
