for any anonymous user.

It would be nice to be able to retrieve information (edit count in particular) for anonymous users through the API. If this is not possible, it should fail a little more gracefully.

Reopening. Bug 13460 is listed as fixed in r32279, and indeed trying the example URL on that bug does not return an error. I get this right now on Wikimedia sites with r32394.

Different bug, same error message. Fixed in r32476
