Wiki is now closed, I've confirmed I don't see any edit options on my Talk page there.
Some CentralAuth and AbuseFilter cleanup may be needed, but can probably wait until after T418492: Redirect API Portal wiki URLs to www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_APIs

Hi. Since the closing my MediaWiki extension, MediaWiki-extensions-GlobalWatchlist, works weird. The CentralAuth allows api.wikimedia.org to be a legal wiki to fetch data from there, but the data does not come and throws an error. The relevant code is

CentralAuthUser::getInstance( $this->getUser() )->listAttached()

Is this something that should be fixed on your side or filtered out on mine? Thank you.
