Description
This very interesting extension works only with public wiki's. For a query to work on a private wiki a login is needed.
On https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Login this is documented.
Attached is code that creates pages in a wiki from email messages. It contains code for login as well, so it might be used as an example.

Research direction
Start with the MediaWiki API:Login documentation and inspect the attached EmailBot.zip for its login flow. Trace how this extension sends queries, then determine what authentication state private-wiki requests require; done means queries work against private wikis without breaking public-wiki use.
