Hello,
it seems like api.php of wiki.m.o is not working/live ( https://wiki.mozilla.org/api.php )

This is a blocker for bug 665762 and related to bug 639119 . 

Please resolve asap.

Thanks

This is because we have never supported the API on the public wiki.mozilla.org.

There was a bug opened and resolved recently to allow api.php access to intranet.mozilla.org, perhaps that's what you're thinking of?

I will look into enabling it on wikimo. In the meantime I'm dropping the priority of this. The bug this blocks is already resolved, and the other bug you mentioned is only 'normal' prio. Blocker ServerOps bugs page on-call, and should only be used for outages and the like.

The API is natively supported by Mediawiki, so that means that we disabled it on the first place (possibly security conserns?)

The blocked bug is RESOLVED as it is the installation of an extension, which is not working without the API though (should we reopen the bug then?)

The other bug is Normal as it was not a needed functionality then (it was nice to have)

The priority should be at least critical, as we have been blocking the development of an app dependend on this functionality for 4 weeks now (no bug associated with this)

Please, please proceed with this ASAP.

Thanks

It doesn't look like "edit" is enabled in the API. Per the mediawiki API documentation $wgEnableAPI and $wgEnableWriteAPI have to be set to "true". http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit#Token

The docs say that this is enabled by default, and there was no explicit setting for it in LocalSettings.php, so I suspect something else is wrong.

In any case, I've added an explicit statement for both of these settings. If it still doesn't work, then there's some other problem.
