Special:Transcode statistics is only visible to sysops
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

BTW. it seems that the transcode-status right (on WMF) is currently configured only for sysop. With this patch, it means that most users can reset a 4 hour 4K video (using transcode-reset permission granted to auto confirmed users), but only sysops can look at Special:Transcode statistics. That seems a bit extreme to me. I'm not sure to which other groups we should extend that right however.. auto confirmed is a LOT of people and in between are a lot of scoped groups, but none that seem particularly relevant.....

I ran into this today as well, I'm not an admin on Commons but occasionally bulk upload videos and found it useful to look at. There is some concern that the page loads slowly, but limiting to autoconfirmed users should mitigate that. The whole page is also cached for a minute

The purge was enabled for autoconfirmed with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/TimedMediaHandler/+/57286 - but without the special page
