Hi! I run a wiki at aeroaddons.miraheze.org and I'm using a GitHub Actions bot to automatically sync addon data from a GitHub repo to my wiki via the MediaWiki API. The bot is getting blocked because GitHub Actions runs on Microsoft Azure, and the IP range 4.154.0.0/16 is globally blocked on Miraheze.
Is it possible to get an exemption for my wiki so the bot can make API edits? The bot account is "Addon_Updater" and it only edits pages and uploads images on my wiki.
Thanks!

From GitHub actions?
charred ivy
Ah. I see, my bad.
onyx falcon
Can you provide the full error you're getting then?
onyx falcon
That would be the definition of an error
charred ivy
Ah. My bad, I was not exactly computing english lol.
I was thinking build failing.

The login result failed is probably the most important bit, you will also need to change your api request to ignore warnings
None of this has anything to do with a block

Hm.
