This package has been super useful to me, thank you for making it!
I recently stumbled upon an unusual use case, and I'm not sure how to handle it:
I am logged in to, say enwiki, using BotPassword.
I do not have a local account on, say frwiki.
If I attempt to login to frwiki with BotPassword, my login will be rejected (Incorrect username and password).
If I try and fetch a CentralAuthToken from enwiki by hand, in order to use it in my request to frwiki (see CentralAuth/API), I get the following error:
code: 'badsession',
info: 'Can only obtain a centralauthtoken when using CentralAuth sessions.'
What is the proper way to interact with other wikis where I may not have a local account?
This seems to be a MediaWiki question rather than an mwn question. And frankly, I don't know the answer. Would suggest asking on Discord or IRC where the experts hang out.
