Cannot edit protected pages with Bot in LockDown wiki
Fragment of a discussion from Extension talk:Lockdown
Apologies, it's also failing with Lockdown disabled. So it must be another thing.
No, it still fails. Apart from the previous error, it does not get the bot flag: Mybot doesn't have a bot flag; edits will be visible in RecentChanges at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/MediaWiki/Bot.pm line 1928.. No problem when logged from the browser, though. I'll continue researching.
The problem I comment is with hook SearchableNamespaces, once only this is disabled, bot is loaded with proper permissions. I suspect it must be MediaWiki bug therefore. I filled a bug. Unless you host private content, you can comment line: $wgHooks['SearchableNamespaces'][] = 'lockdownSearchableNamespaces'; to bring robots back to work.
