I finally found out what the problem is. Wikia/ wikipedia doesn't allow bots to make changes anonymously or if it does, it needs some guest login or something like that. That's why the edit token is blank, that's a security measure to prevent bots from spamming or making random edits.

For future readers, the instructions for getting a bot working with mediawiki are listed on [this site](http://macrolayer.blogspot.com/2013/10/wikipedia-bot-using-google-script.html). There are some differences when it comes to wikia though:

1. As of April 2015, wikia uses mediawiki 1.19, and it requires the following format for api calls:

2. Cookies are set differently in wikia, so that hard-coded method will not work here, this will:

Almost everything else should work as described in the linked article.

Thanks for your help!
