The User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; archive.org_bot +http://archive.org/details/archive.org_bot) is making deprecated API calls to action=oathvalidate&totp=
These queries should be updated from doing action=oathvalidate&totp=foo to action=oathvalidate&data={"totp":"foo"}

/w/api.php?action=oathvalidate&user=Example&totp=123456&token=123ABC
It seems the bot is crawling the examples from the API help page.
Nothing to fix there then
