Translations:Manual:Edit token/6/en

For this reason, actions that perform changes require an additional piece of data that is passed as an HTTP parameter, the edit token. An edit token is embedded into web pages from which the user can request a change; this includes the edit form (where one can change a page by pressing "$1") but also the image description pages (where an administrator can request deletion of an old version of an image), contributor histories (where administrators can rollback), etc.
