Bug #72404 for MediaWiki-API: Action watch now requires token

Subject:

Action watch now requires token

I used to be able to watch a file as follows: $mw->api( { action => 'watch', title => "$_->{title}", watch } ) But since https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29070 was implemented in 1.18, it now requires a token. I get the following error: notoken: The token parameter must be set.

for the time being if using 1.18, then just get a token then and pass that. i may make it easier with the api in an upcoming version to get the token for you, but it's simple enough to get one yourself.

I finally got around to testing this. sorry for the delay. This actually already works with the current code base. Just use the MediaWiki::API->edit( { action => 'watch', title => "Main_Page" } ); function and a token will be automatically retrieved and cached. I just need to add a small note to the documentation.
