API talk:Edit

Dear early adopters, does the edit action work for anyone? I try hard but can't get it to work with an php client. Like suggested at the login-discussion site i now use the Snoopy library to set the cookies for the mw system (hopefully this is not necessary anymore in the near future!). I am able to login and to request a edit-token. but if i try to edit the content, i get the result Conflict detected. Is it possible to get some more details about the conflict? Any logfiles or something else which could help?
 * Ah, found the conflict myself: i was using the false epedittime. Now it works!

Create pages
How do I need to change the code in order to create, rather than edit, a page? Thanks.

Sorry for the late response. Create and edit are the same from the API point of view. eptext=WikiText parameter is the whole article content, including changes when the article has been edited, or new content when eptitle did not exist. --Raquel.Frisa 10:07, 19 October 2007 (UTC)


 * one little difference would be useful: sometimes you want to change an article only if it exists, but not create it if it doesn't. an example: inserting a speedy-deletion-template should not recreate an already deleted article. -- ∂ 01:48, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * What about you just check for the article's existence using api.php?action=query&prop=info&titles=hddfal? --Catrope 12:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
