For older versions of MediaWiki, you can use  or  to get an edit token in place of login token.
 * While executing the code snippets provided on this page, remember to use  as the endpoint, so that you don't accidentally delete pages on production wikis.

In addition to the  right, other rights may be required, depending on the location and type of page.

Deleting a user's  page, for example, also requires the   right.
