Description

When requesting a token via action=tokens when not logged in

I get the response
{
"warnings": {

		"tokens": {
			"*": "Action 'import' is not allowed for the current user"
		}

},
"tokens": [

]
}

To be consistent with the rest of the api, this should return a json object with an error key so that it is clear that this is an error.

I guess the issue here is that if you request multiple tokens, 1 edit and 1 import you don't want the whole request to fail if your not allowed to import as you still want the edit token.
