Editing API/Edit (section)

== Additional notes == <!--T:47-->

<!--T:48-->
* Log in is not strictly required by the API, but it is needed to correctly attribute the edit to its author.</translate> <translate><!--T:49--> A successful edit from a user who is not logged in will be attributed to their IP address.</translate>
<translate>
<!--T:50-->
* Bots that are not logged in may face restrictions on editing and other write requests; see  for more details.</translate>
<translate>
<!--T:51-->
* Users who are not logged in will always be given the empty CSRF token, <tvar name=1><code>+\</code></tvar>.</translate>
<translate>
<!--T:52-->
* The process for requesting a token has changed several times across versions.</translate> <translate><!--T:53--> See <tvar name=1></tvar> for more information.</translate>
<translate>
<!--T:54-->
* <tvar name=1></tvar> provides a way to access edit tokens when running code within a wiki page.</translate>
<translate>
<!--T:55-->
* You can use the same CSRF token for all edit operations across the same wiki, during a single login session.</translate>
<translate>
<!--T:56-->
* It is a good practice to pass any tokens in your request at the end of the query string, or at least after the text parameter.</translate> <translate><!--T:57--> That way, if the connection is interrupted, the token will not be passed and the edit will fail.</translate> <translate><!--T:58--> If you are using the <tvar name=1></tvar> object to make requests, this is done automatically.</translate>
<translate>
<!--T:59-->
* Although <tvar name=1><code>captchaid</code></tvar> and <tvar name=2><code>captchaword</code></tvar> have, technically, been removed from API:Edit since v1.18, <tvar name=3></tvar> extends API:Edit to work with CAPTCHAs.</translate> <translate><!--T:60--> Thus, with ConfirmEdit installed, these parameters are still available.</translate> <translate><!--T:61--> ConfirmEdit comes packaged with the MediaWiki software, v1.18+.</translate>
