Attempting to do a move with api.php?format=xml&action=move... and $wgEnableWriteAPI at its default of false returns an error in plain text (not HTML or XML) unknown_action: Unrecognised value for parameter 'action' If a separate error code is not in order can it at least do XML? Could it parse the format parameter first and use it? The same text error comes from api.php?format=xml&action=bogus.
Already fixed in 1.13 which is due very soon. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 11673 ***
