Change 646838 had a related patch set uploaded (by Shubham656jain; owner: Shubham656jain):
[mediawiki/extensions/GWToolset@master] Add gwtoolset grant with gwtoolset

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/646838

What's the point of this grant? It's only used for accessing Special:GWToolset, not any API. Given that GWToolset is unmaintained and generally considered a mistake (in the sense that it should have been a Toolforge tool, not an extension), I doubt anyone will spend effort on building an API for it, as opposed to building that API as a standalone tool in the first place.

I was filing tasks for all rights that weren't included in grants, don't remember the specifics, if you want to decline this no objections from me

Change 646838 abandoned by Shubham656jain:
[mediawiki/extensions/GWToolset@master] Add gwtoolset grant with gwtoolset

Reason:
Patch not required for this task.
