Use of the MediaWiki API "intoken" parameter has been deprecated since MediaWiki 1.24. Please use action=query&meta=tokens where available.

Since your framework sets a useful user agent string, you can monitor other deprecated feature usages by clients using your framework on Wikimedia Foundation hosted wikis by using Special:ApiFeatureUsage.

    Thank you for this information. "action=query&meta=tokens" is already implemeted in recent version.

    The framework uses "DotNetWikiBot/x.xx (...)" agent string format. Please, tell me, Brad, if I input "DotNetWikiBot/3.14" as a user agent string on Special:ApiFeatureUsage page, will I get the correct data for this specific version?
