aflunsupportednamespace error in API query
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=abuselog

Gives:

{
    "servedby": "mw1203",
    "error": {
        "code": "aflunsupportednamespace",
        "info": "Pages in the Special namespace can't be edited",
        "*": "See https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/api.php for API usage"
    }
}

Strangely I could run the query this query some days ago without problems. I'm not trying to edit the AbuseLog, just lists its results, so all this error messages look weird to me.

This is likely due to Gerrit change 201678 changing the dummy title from "API" to Special:BadTitle, and AbuseFilter was using that dummy title for some sort of edit.

I notice that SpecialAbuseLog passes array( 'ns-specialprotected' ) as ignoreErrors to getUserPermissionsErrors, but ApiQueryAbuseLog doesn't
