Can't use HotCat with NWE
Closed, ResolvedPublic0 Estimated Story Points

Description

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to Commons and try to add one category using HotCat. (Note: I shouldn't even see an edit window when only one category is being changed.)
  2. NWE opens. The category you tried to add is nowhere to be seen.
  3. Type cat by hand, if you can remember the exact name.
  4. NWE ate the edit summary, too. Save the page anyway.
  5. Disable NWE at Commons until it and HotCat can play nicely together.

I suspected that in T165132: action=edit in URL doesn't load OWE when NWE is enabled already. HotCat should probably use action=submit instead.

This worked before and affect large amount of users.

At some point we should just disable HotCat, if the community continue to not be able or willing to support it.
