 * 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.
