What extension is this? Is the request still current, do you have consensus?

They use it (or something with exact the same funtionality) on Wikimedia Commons.

I'm pretty sure the request was made by some users and no one was against the proposal. I'll try to provide you with relevant Pod lipo (Village pump) posts.

The extension is on svn, would need to be migrated to git (not a big problem).

The code seems secure, but there's a deadly sql query there (SELECT DISTINCT cl_to FROM categorylinks). The code acknowleedges it in a comment: "Perform a query on the categorylinks table to retreieve a list of all cateogries, this probably shouldn't be installed on wikis with more than a few hundred categories as the list would be very long".

It seems feasible to polish it, though.

Sorry, searchfail on my end: [[mw:Extension:CategoryOnUpload]].
[[commons:Special:Version]] says this extension is not installed there, what do you want to achieve exactly?
Thanks.

Closing as RESOLVED INVALID since there hasn't been any updates on this bug for more than 6 months. Please feel free to reopen if you're still interested in getting this done (in whatever way).
