What happens
Apparently today the Mediawiki API was disabled on English Wikitravel. See for example [1] which returns:
MediaWiki API is not enabled for this site. Add the following line to your LocalSettings.php $wgEnableAPI=true;
I assume this was done to combat spambot issues. Will it be re-enabled?
- Checking. I know they are trying different approaches, so that may be the case.--IBobi talk email 13:29, 10 August 2012 (EDT)
