The error means you do not have access to do that. Why do you want edit it?

I found some minor errors in the script, but I couldn't find anywhere else to edit it.

You can add comment (if that's necessary) on the patch here https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/phabricator/extensions/+/236417

@Ammarpad Why can't users make edits to other people's changes on the web interface? This is actually so annoying. I don't want to be required to clone an entire repo just to make a one-line change.

Because past vandalism and spam

Also, i don't think its web interface specific. I think the same thing would happen if you cloned the repo and weren't in the trusted contributors group.

yeah I figured that out
